SUCCESS STORY
Leveling-up an automated industrial system with Yocto and embedded Linux
W. H. Leary needed embedded Linux development services to migrate their operating system OS and Linux kernel due to an end-of-life CPU and OS. The Monet platform – which automates the company’s world-class packaging manufacturing system – is a vital part of the company’s offering, so extra care was needed to ensure ease of use and system longevity.
After an in-depth consulting workshop phase, W. H. Leary selected Witekio’s architecture concept and embedded Linux development team. Our expertise in embedded Linux software development enabled a profound modernization of the Monet platform. This comprehensive project included:
- A complete reimagining of a real-time processing Linux system, from the lower levels up to the Linux kernal.
- Yocto BSP development, Linux OS migration, and support for language localization.
- GUI integration for seamless user-experience.
- Optimization of the embedded Linux operating system and comprehensive documentation

FAQ: about embedded Linux development services
What is embedded Linux development?
Embedded Linux development refers to the specialized process of designing, building, and deploying Linux-based operating systems and embedded applications systems. Unlike general-purpose Linux on a desktop computer, embedded Linux systems are designed for specific hardware and perform dedicated functions within a device. This involves custom Linux configurations, kernel modifications, and efficient resource management to ensure optimal performance on resource-constrained embedded devices.
What are the key stages in embedded Linux development services?
Embedded Linux development services typically involve several critical stages. These include Linux system design and architecture planning, Linux kernel customization to adapt to specific hardware, BSP development for optimal hardware-software interaction, and Linux driver development for peripheral support.
Further stages often involve root filesystem creation, cross compilation for the target device, and rigorous testing to ensure stability and performance of the embedded Linux system.
What technologies and tools are used by an embedded Linux developer?
An embedded Linux developer utilizes a wide range of technologies and tools. This often includes programming languages like C/C++, build systems such as Yocto Project or Buildroot, Linux distributions (like Debian, Ubuntu, or custom builds), and various open-source tools for debugging and profiling. Knowledge of command line interfaces, debugging tools, and real-time Linux extensions is also essential for effective embedded software development.
