From Linux Yocto BSP customization to connectivity and network routing functions
Prior to starting development, we began this project by closely collaborating with Masabi to define and understand suitable requirements to deliver a reliable platform for the ongoing development of Masabi’s product.
We initially developed a custom Yocto based BSP suitable for the target hardware with a custom build of OpenJDK and OpenJFX and ensured that the performance was as expected.
As our relationship grew with Masabi we went on to provide additional support for new custom hardware (including support for factory flashing) we also were available for support during the products trials, pilots and roll-outs.
As this solution relates to sensitive data, we proceeded to a cryptography investigation, advising Masabi on the integration of cryptography elements to secure their solution.
With regards to connectivity, we provided a reliable and power-failure tolerant software update mechanism and abstracted functionality of the Linux Yocto BSP via Java libraries that added further connectivity such as Bluetooth Low Energy, WiFi and 4G and network routing functions.
As a result, the Masabi Inspect Validation Suite is a fully innovative and secured solution securing ticket validation across all modes of public transit and used by numerous public transportation providers around the Globe.
Witekio’s in-depth involvement in the low-level software development of this solution, allowed Masabi to be more time efficient by focusing on the development of their graphical application and business-logic without handling the complexities and challenges related to embedded Linux development.
