The Problem

Most Embedded Linux Projects Fail the Same Way

Your hardware team picks a chip. Your software team starts a Yocto build from scratch. Six months later you’re still debugging BSP issues, your security audit has no SBOM, and your regulatory submission is stalled.

Meanwhile, every CVE that drops is your problem – forever.

You don’t need another embedded Linux services vendor. You need a platform that solves the OS layer so your team can build the product.

Our Platforms

Production-Ready Linux Platforms by Industry

Each platform is built on a minimal, purpose-specific kernel configuration – reducing attack surface and ensuring deterministic behavior required for regulated systems.

Validated on NXP i.MX, TI Sitara, Qualcomm, Intel, and Renesas silicon.

✓ Hardened kernel ✓ Secure boot ✓ SBOM included ✓ OTA-ready ✓ CVE monitoring ✓ Certification docs
Medical

MediTUX OS

Medical-grade Linux designed to support FDA, MDR, and IEC 62304 documentation workflows. Pre-structured for SOUP documentation, risk traceability, and SBOM generation.

IEC 62304 · FDA · MDR · ISO 13485 · NIST

Industrial

InduTUX OS

Hardened Linux for IEC 62443 environments. Edge gateways, automation controllers, EtherCAT and OPC-UA protocol stacks. Built for 10+ year deployment lifecycles in factory and energy infrastructure.

IEC 62443 · IEC 61508 · ISO 27001

Automotive

Automotive Linux

ISO 26262-aligned Linux stacks for infotainment, telematics, and ADAS. Integrated with automotive middleware, A/B update mechanisms, and functional safety partitioning.

Platform Lifecycle Operations

Already Running Linux? We Keep It Production-Ready.

Many OEMs already have an embedded Linux platform in production – built internally, inherited from a vendor BSP, or based on a community distribution.

The challenge isn’t getting it to boot. It’s maintaining it over a 10-year lifecycle under security and regulatory pressure.

L4B provides ongoing operational support for your embedded Linux platform – including security, releases, and compliance readiness.

Platform Onboarding

We assess your existing Linux stack – Yocto, Buildroot, Ubuntu, or vendor BSP – and establish a controlled, auditable baseline.

Security & Lifecycle Management

Continuous CVE tracking, SBOM generation, patch testing, and audit-ready documentation designed to support your regulatory context – FDA, CRA, IEC 62443.

Release & Update Operations

Structured releases, regression validation, OTA packaging, and long-term branch maintenance.

Your application team keeps building the product. L4B ensures the Linux platform remains secure, stable, and compliant – for the full product lifecycle.

Lifecycle Management
Your OS Doesn’t End at Launch.
Neither Do We.

MOON is the lifecycle management layer behind every L4B platform – continuous security monitoring, regression-tested patching, SBOM management, and secure OTA delivery for the full product lifecycle.

CVE Monitoring & Patching

We track every vulnerability against your deployed SBOM and deliver regression-tested patches. You don’t staff a kernel security team. We are your kernel security team.

Secure Over-the-Air Updates

Kernel, firmware, and application updates pushed to devices in the field. Signed, encrypted, rollback-safe. No technician visits.

Regulatory Continuity

Your SBOM, patch history, and test evidence stay audit-ready for the entire product lifecycle. You have structured evidence to support your regulatory response.

10-Year Maintenance Contracts

Your device ships for a decade. We maintain the OS for a decade. Kernel updates, security patches, driver compatibility – continuously tested against your configuration.

Platform Engineering

Platform Adaptation and System Integration

When platform adaptation is required – new silicon, drivers, or protocol integration – we deliver scoped engineering aligned with your platform architecture.

Board support packages & hardware bring-up
Kernel porting, driver development, mainline upstreaming
PREEMPT_RT integration & real-time tuning
Secure boot – HAB/AHAB (NXP), OP-TEE (ARM), UEFI (x86)
Yocto / Buildroot distribution customization
Legacy OS migration – Windows CE, QNX, RTOS → Linux
HAL, middleware, and SDK development
Protocol integration – OCPP, OPC-UA, EtherCAT, MQTT

Every adaptation is delivered as a controlled extension of the platform – scoped, tested, and maintained.

Medical device OEM

Existing Yocto-based platform onboarded for CVE tracking, SBOM generation, and IEC 62304 lifecycle documentation – without replacing the OS.

Industrial automation OEM

Ubuntu-based edge gateway fleet transitioned to managed lifecycle operations – quarterly hardened builds, full SBOM coverage, CRA-aligned vulnerability tracking.

Automotive tier-2 supplier

In-house Linux platform transitioned to managed SLA with defined CVE response times and long-term maintenance commitment – reducing the need for dedicated kernel engineering headcount.

Why L4B

Why OEMs Choose L4B

Platform, Not Project

You’re not hiring a team to build an OS from scratch. You’re deploying an integration-tested platform designed to support certification and compliance evidence. Eliminates the need to build and maintain a Linux platform independently.

Regulation Is in Our DNA

IEC 62304, ISO 13485, ISO 26262, FDA, MDR, IEC 62443 – we don’t learn your compliance requirements on your dime. We’ve done it hundreds of times across four continents.

We Maintain What We Ship

Every platform comes with long-term lifecycle support. CVE patching, OTA updates, SBOM management – for up to 10 years. Your device stays secure and compliance-ready long after launch.

L4B platforms are designed to support regulated product development, cybersecurity maintenance, and compliance documentation. Final responsibility for product certification, regulatory submissions, device classification, system validation, and legal compliance remains with the customer/OEM or legal manufacturer. L4B does not provide regulatory approval, certification, or legal-manufacturer services unless expressly agreed in writing.
