Board Support Package (BSP) Development
A Board Support Package (BSP) is a collection of software that contains the OS hardware modules and device drivers needed to boot and run an embedded system on specific hardware. Our services include BSP development, configuration, and migration.
What we do
A BSP (Board Support Package) initializes the processor, communication buses, memory, and peripherals and starts up the bootloader. A BSP engineer sets environmental parameters for working with a specific embedded OS. The BSPs we create operate with minimal modifications on similar target boards.
What’s included
Bootloader and Linux Kernel Porting
Integra's specialists provide Linux board support package development for various Linux solutions. We can create a full-fledged BSP, including boot loaders (U-Boot, RedBoot), and adapt the Linux kernel to the target CPU to make Linux work on an embedded platform. Our engineers perform architecture and board porting, which involves writing custom drivers and initialization code for devices specific to the board. They can also help you customize and optimize your Linux-based system.
Custom Device Driver Development
As a part of our BSP development services, we build custom drivers to bring up the board, customize drivers with new features, port drivers from one OS to another, and provide updates to support new specifications and hardware.
Root File System Building
We generate contents for the root file system for building programs to run on the embedded system and configure the device. The root file system is required to boot, restore, recover, and/or repair the system.
Boot Time Optimization
We provide boot time optimization services for mission-critical applications with specific requirements for system boot time. During BSP development, we can recompile the bootloader or kernel or rebuild the root file system from scratch.

Wearable Blood Pressure Monitor Development
The portable blood pressure monitor measures blood pressure, heart rate, blood saturation, and posture and transmits the data to a tablet app.
IoT Device Development for Oil & Gas Sensors
The project aimed to develop a connected device for various sensors used in the oil and gas industry. There are many options for using the IoT.
A Control Panel for IoT-Based Smart Home Automation System
Within the scope of the project, the team developed three PCBs, a custom Linux image, and drivers for different modules of the smart home system.

GO TO WORKFLOW PAGE
1
We get acquainted with the concept of the future solution and sign a non-disclosure agreement. The team gathers project requirements, studies relevant documents, and analyzes rival products on the market. At this phase, a preliminary project evaluation is made.
2
We contact the customer to confirm the project requirements. Then we create a technical specification and set a budget and deadlines.
3
We make the final evaluation of the project, make up a team, and schedule its workload.
4
We sign a contract for embedded software development. The team gets to work.
5
We select libraries, languages, and tools and get into embedded software development, factoring in device features and hardware configuration. The team identifies and eliminates bugs and optimizes the performance of the software. Customers receive daily reports on the progress. If necessary, the plan can be amended.
6
The team tests all the software functions. We check its performance under corresponding operating conditions and run some tests required for product certification. If necessary, the product is then modified.
7
After the tests, we finalize the necessary documentation. We can prepare manuals if the product is designed for in-house use.
8
When the development process is finished, customers can enjoy a free warranty period. During this time, the team will fix any bugs and defects in the product.
Reviews
“Integra's team helped us clarify our requirements and change systems architecture to achieve the final goal. I'd say that the flexibility and enthusiasm of both engineering and management teams throughout the whole project were some of the things we value most in our collaboration.”
