Our Expertise with NXP Platforms
Bootlin provides deep expertise in Linux Board Support Package (BSP) development across a broad range of NXP processors. Our services cover bootloader and firmware porting, Linux kernel development, integration with build systems such as Yocto, Buildroot, or OpenWrt, as well as implementation of security features, real-time constraints, and boot-time optimizations.
Over the past 15 years, Bootlin has delivered several dozens of Linux BSPs for embedded devices based on the NXP i.MX6, i.MX7, i.MX8 and i.MX9 processors.
How Bootlin Can Help
If you’re working with a NXP processor, Bootlin offers a wide range of services:
- Bring-up of a fully functional Linux system on your custom hardware, including bootloader and kernel porting, bridging the gap between the software provided by NXP and the specific requirements of your product.
- Zephyr RTOS porting and driver development for platforms where a lightweight RTOS is appropriate.
- Development and enhancement of Linux kernel drivers to support custom hardware features.
- Custom Yocto, Buildroot, or OpenWrt distributions tailored for your specific NXP-based platform.
- Integration of security features, real-time capabilities, optimized boot times, and full open-source stacks for OTA updates, multimedia, graphics, and networking.
- Maintain and regularly update your Embedded Linux distribution and BSP to benefit from security fixes and ensure compliance with evolving cybersecurity regulations, including the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
