Hardware Bring-Up & Porting

BayLibre supports customers during the most critical phase of an embedded platform lifecycle: hardware bring-up. From first power-on to a fully functional Linux system, we work at the intersection of hardware and software to validate boards, SoCs, and peripherals. Our engineers handle early boot debugging, bootloader configuration, kernel porting, device tree creation, and low-level driver enablement to ensure your platform is stable, measurable, and ready for development.

We specialize in porting operating systems and software stacks across new boards, SoCs, and hardware revisions, with a strong focus on Linux and open-source ecosystems. Whether moving from a reference design to custom hardware, migrating between SoC generations, or replacing a vendor BSP, we help de-risk the transition and accelerate time-to-market. 

Our work follows an upstream-friendly approach, reducing technical debt and ensuring long-term maintainability beyond the initial bring-up phase.
