From kernel patches to production systems

Linux Kernel Engineering and Embedded Linux

LABCSMART provides deep Linux kernel expertise for embedded platforms — from device driver development and subsystem bring-up to upstream contributions and long-term kernel maintenance. Whether you need a PCIe controller driver, a V4L2 camera pipeline, an ASoC audio codec integration, a DMA engine driver, a thermal management subsystem, or a complete Ethernet driver, we cover the full driver stack with production-quality code targeting mainline Linux.

Custom Distributions with Buildroot and the Yocto Project

Building a reliable embedded Linux distribution requires more than running bitbake. LABCSMART designs and builds custom distributions tailored to your hardware and deployment constraints — from minimal footprint industrial images to full automotive-grade BSPs with CIP kernel support, SDK generation, and OTA update integration using RAUC.

MCU Solutions — Bare Metal and RTOS

Not every embedded system runs Linux. LABCSMART develops and optimizes firmware for microcontroller-based systems using bare metal programming and real-time operating systems including FreeRTOS and Zephyr. Services cover peripheral driver development, custom bootloaders, power management optimization, and secure boot implementation across a wide range of MCU platforms.

Cybersecurity for Embedded Systems

Security in embedded systems must be built in from the start, not bolted on after. LABCSMART implements end-to-end security architectures: threat analysis and risk assessment, secure boot with chain-of-trust, trusted execution environments with OP-TEE and TrustZone, TPM integration, PKCS#11 secure element management, and secure OTA updates via RAUC with cryptographic bundle signing.
