Embedded Linux and bare-metal board bring-up

Bring-Up-Blitz: your new board booting, with bootloader, kernel, UART and Ethernet working.

For Arm, RISC-V and AMD FPGA SoC boards, with a full Linux stack or bare metal. Fixed price, $10K–30K.

From first power-on to a working platform

A new board has to boot before anyone can write application code on it. Bring-up is the work that gets it there: the boot chain, the kernel or bare-metal runtime, the console and the network, each tested on the real hardware.

Bring-Up-Blitz is that work as one fixed-price package. You end with a board your application team can log in to, build for and deploy to, and with the build and the documentation to reproduce it.

What you get

Bootloader running on your board.
Linux kernel booting to a root file system, or a bare-metal runtime, as you choose.
UART console for login and debugging.
Ethernet up and passing traffic.
Reproducible builds that your team runs from a clean checkout.
Documentation of the build, the board configuration and what was tested.

Boards we bring up

Tell us the SoC on your board. If it is not listed, ask anyway.

AMD FPGA SoCs	Embedded Linux or bare metal on the processing system of AMD adaptive SoCs, with the FPGA fabric configured at boot
Arm processors	Cortex-A application processors running Linux; Cortex-M and Cortex-R microcontrollers running bare metal
RISC-V	RISC-V processors, including soft processors in an FPGA

How an engagement runs

Quick-Start Review. A 60-minute video session on your schematics, software and blockers, with a written action list. The $495 is credited toward any package.
Fixed scope and price. You get a written scope with deliverables and one fixed price before work starts.
Delivery. The work is done to that scope, with reproducible builds.
Handover. Source, build instructions and documentation, so your team can carry on without us.
