Empowering Embedded Systems with Secure, Real-Time, and Customized Linux

L4B Software delivers robust, secure, and real-time embedded Linux solutions tailored for high-performance and safety-critical applications. With over 20 years of experience in Linux kernel development, BSP integration, open-source security, and industry certification support, we are a trusted technology partner to leading OEMs across medical, automotive, industrial, and consumer markets.

Custom Board Support, OS Integration

We provide comprehensive Linux bring-up and board support tailored to your hardware:

  • BSP development and low-level hardware initialization
  • Bootloader customization (e.g., U-Boot) and secure boot enablement
  • Linux kernel porting, optimization, and hardening
  • Custom driver development, integration, and validation
  • Support for Yocto, Buildroot, Debian, and custom Linux distributions
  • Mainline kernel integration and upstreaming services to future-proof your product and reduce long-term maintenance effort

Middleware, HAL, and Custom APIs

We bridge the gap between custom hardware and application logic:

  • Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) development
  • Custom APIs for device interaction via standard Linux interfaces
  • Human Interface Device (HID) integration and input system tuning
  • Full SDKs and wrappers for scalable software development
  • Migration from legacy operating systems to Linux with codebase continuity

Real-Time Linux Integration

For applications requiring strict determinism and low-latency response:

  • Integration of PREEMPT_RT or real-time frameworks into Linux kernel
  • Real-time scheduling, IRQ tuning, and process prioritization
  • RT driver development with user-space control APIs
  • Coexistence with standard Linux multitasking and services
  • Suitable for robotics, automotive, industrial automation, and medical use cases

Embedded Security and System Hardening

Security is designed into the system architecture—not added later:

  • Secure Boot, trusted firmware chains, and key storage
  • Kernel hardening, SELinux, and AppArmor policies
  • Encrypted communication, secure storage, and access controls
  • CVE scanning, vulnerability patching, and runtime protection
  • Aligned with ISO 27001, ISO 21434, IEC 61508, and industry cybersecurity frameworks

Why a Maintenance Contract Is Critical for Embedded Linux Systems

Linux is a dynamic and evolving open-source ecosystem—not a static product. Any commercially deployed Linux-based system requires continuous monitoring, updating, and validation to remain secure, functional, and compliant.

A structured maintenance contract is essential to:

  • Ensure security: New vulnerabilities (CVEs) emerge daily. Without monitoring and patching, your system becomes exposed.
  • Manage open-source dependencies: Kernel APIs, libraries, and drivers frequently change. Unmanaged updates can break compatibility or introduce regressions.
  • Meet regulatory requirements: Standards such as ISO 13485, IEC 62443, or ISO 27001 mandate vulnerability management and patch traceability.
  • Protect long product lifecycles: Industrial, medical, and automotive systems may be deployed for 10+ years. Continuous support ensures longevity.
  • Enable secure updates: L4B’s OTA-ready infrastructure allows you to safely deploy kernel, application, and firmware updates in the field.

Our maintenance services include:

  • Security patch integration and validation
  • Kernel and driver updates
  • CVE monitoring and mitigation
  • SBOM versioning and documentation
  • Integration with secure OTA mechanisms
  • Lifecycle support aligned with certification requirements
  • Support for keeping your system aligned with mainline Linux developments to reduce technical debt over time
