What can we do about Consulting & Development for you?

Consulting & Development

We help with Open Source Software, Embedded Linux, Real-Time, and Containers. Our main focus is on the Yocto Project®.

We offer project start-up help.
It’s not unusual to guide with BSP development/tuning/”up-streaming”.
- This could be the replacement of some vendor components by “upstream” components.
- It could as well be a Yocto Project® version upgrade.
All the time, best practices are followed.
Many times we review your “meta-layers” and “third-party meta-layers.
Frequently we have a look at your development workflow. This allows us to analyze it.
- In turn, it allows us to suggest measures for fine-tuning and improvements to your infrastructure.

Our (private) in-house training includes consulting time while on-site.
From time to time our (private) online/remote teaching contains consulting time while training is in progress.
In any case you can book additional Yocto Project®/Embedded Linux/FreeRTOS consulting time as remote work.
Most importantly you can book additional on-site Yocto Project®/Embedded Linux/FreeRTOS consulting time.

Up to the present time we created a Lab in a box and Remote labs for our premises in Austria and until 2022 also in Greece.
- With this in mind you should know that those are the basic things you need when you want to accomplish continuous integration/testing and delivery (CI, CT, CD).
Lab equipment that mainly suits our needs was manufactured.
- One example would be SDWire, an SD card reader/multiplexer.
- The latest lab hardware development is a USB Conserver based on the Yocto Project®.
- Other examples are printed circuit boards and prototypes to support teaching.
In 2014 we showcased the world’s first Yocto Project® powered 3D printer at the Yocto Project® booth at the “Embedded Linux Conference Europe”.
Unquestionably, throughout the years, we got involved in the creation of hardware and real-time as well as non-real-time software as well as managerial tasks.
- Integration management at some multi-national set-top-box projects.
- Industrial automation for a printing company.
- Control systems for the Institute of Experimental Physics in Graz (Austria).
- A video player for “video on demand” in hotels.
- An add-on to photocopiers – Kodak.

We provide flexible engagement models so you can request exactly the capabilities you need.
The options we offer range from consulting to full turnkey engagements.
We either handle everything for you or by engaging our worldwide network of experts so that you and Reliable Embedded Systems – Robert Berger e.U. can focus on their core competencies.
You might even want to add training for project startup and after third-party code delivery. Here you’ll find more information about it.
