Yocto or Buildroot, the bring-up was the easy part. Kernel CVEs keep landing, layers drift, the toolchain breaks somehow, and regulators now want a vulnerability story. We keep your image patched, buildable, and compliant, so you don't keep a Linux platform engineer on payroll.
Most teams can do the bring-up. Almost none can keep it current.
"The build only works on one person's machine, and that person is gone."
We onboard the build, get it reproducible inside a versioned, snapshotted machine on our infrastructure, and document the process. From then on, every build is repeatable and auditable.
"We have no idea which vulnerabilities affect our shipped image."
We establish a CVE baseline against the running image, then track and patch on a fixed cadence. Each cycle produces an updated SBOM and a vulnerability report you can hand to auditors or customers.
"Pulling one upstream fix now means untangling a year of divergence."
We keep the layer state current and the toolchain alive, so when you do need a fix or a feature, the path to it is short instead of a multi-week archaeology dig.
The EU Cyber Resilience Act applies to products already on the market, not just new ones
Under the EU Cyber Resilience Act, vulnerability and incident reporting obligations begin 11 September 2026, with full compliance required by 11 December 2027. A fielded product with no maintenance story is now a liability, not just technical debt. We deliver the documented, ongoing vulnerability handling the regulation expects: a current SBOM, a tracked CVE status, and a record of what was patched and when.
No EU exposure? The other reason still applies. Your build is rotting, reproducibility may already be at risk, and the cost of waiting only compounds.
Onboard the build once, then keep it healthy on a predictable cadence
We take a look at the build and evaluate the reproducibility before any maintenance contract begins. Maintaining a build we have never reproduced is how you waste money, so this is required and genuinely valuable on its own.
On a fixed cadence, per maintained image, we keep the image current and documented.
Some vulnerabilities cannot wait. Each retainer includes a defined allowance of out-of-band hours for actively-exploited CVEs.
When maintenance turns into real engineering work, BSP clients get priority scheduling instead of waiting in line.
Yocto and Buildroot, on the hardware you already shipped
Tell us about your image and we'll let you know if we're a fit, usually within one business day.
Build won't even reproduce, or the firmware itself is the problem? Start with an MCU and firmware rescue first, then keep it healthy here.
