Root — BSP Development & Porting

The foundation layer that makes Linux run on your hardware. Board Support Package development for any silicon target.

Hardware Bring-Up From First Boot

Root is Razetime's Board Support Package practice. We develop and port BSPs for custom boards, evaluation hardware, and production silicon — giving hardware teams a stable, documented, and maintainable Linux foundation from which to build their product software stack.

BSP DEVELOPMENT

New BSP development for custom hardware using ARM Cortex-A series, RISC-V, x86/x86-64, and vendor-specific SoCs. Full hardware bring-up from bare metal to a bootable Linux image with working peripherals.

BSP PORTING & MIGRATION

Porting existing BSPs to new kernel versions, new hardware revisions, or new SoC platforms. Device tree updates, defconfig maintenance, and regression testing across the peripheral set.

U-BOOT & BOOTLOADER

U-Boot porting and customisation for custom hardware. Secure boot configuration, environment variable management, JTAG and serial console bring-up, and production flashing sequence development.

MEMORY MAP & HARDWARE INITIALISATION

Memory controller configuration, DRAM bring-up and calibration, peripheral address map definition, clock tree initialisation, and power management (PMIC) integration for custom hardware platforms.

HARDWARE VALIDATION

Systematic validation of hardware functionality via BSP — peripheral connectivity, interrupt routing, DMA operation, timing margin analysis, and hardware errata identification and workaround implementation.

DOCUMENTATION & KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER

Full BSP documentation including hardware bring-up guide, device tree annotation, defconfig rationale, and knowledge transfer sessions so your internal team can own and extend the BSP going forward.

Discuss your hardware bring-up

Share your SoC, your hardware schematic, and your target kernel version. We will tell you the scope of the bring-up effort and what we need from your hardware team to get started.
