Sequoia

A custom Yocto-based platform for industrial SBCs, COM Express / SMARC modules, and edge servers — Intel Atom / Core and AMD Ryzen Embedded. The same rigor as our ARM platforms, on x86.

• Validated on industrial SBCs and embedded modules (Atom x6000E, Core, Ryzen Embedded).
• Boot chain: UEFI / coreboot → systemd-boot / GRUB → Linux, secure boot with custom keys.
• Virtualization and workload consolidation (KVM, ACRN).
• The same rigor as our ARM platforms, on x86.

High-speed BSP

• Yocto-based embedded Linux for x86_64 (meta-intel, AMD embedded targets).
• Custom BSP: kernel config for your exact peripheral set, out-of-tree driver integration.
• Carrier board bring-up: BIOS / UEFI configuration, ACPI table review.
• Smoke test: PCIe enumeration, storage, network, display, I/O checkout.

TPM / secure boot

• UEFI / coreboot — customized, hardened, locked for production.
• UEFI Secure Boot with your keys, measured boot with TPM 2.0.
• Golden boot and redundant boot partitions (UEFI boot entries + health-checked fallback).
• Memory / storage partitioning, failsafe and rollback boot.

Determinism without an MCU

• Kernel customization and hardening (LTS kernels), config minimization.
• PREEMPT_RT for industrial determinism; Xenomai where hard real-time is required.
• Driver work: custom PCIe cards, industrial I/O, CAN adapters, GPU / iGPU enablement.
• TPM 2.0 integration, measured boot, disk encryption (LUKS + TPM sealing).

Industry-specific images

• sequoia-industrial — Modbus, OPC UA, TSN, soft-PLC integration.
• sequoia-iot / edge — MQTT, container runtime (Docker / Podman), edge orchestration.
• sequoia-vision — OpenVINO / ROCm pipelines, GStreamer, multi-camera ingest.
• sequoia-medical / defense — hardened, audit-ready, SBOM-complete builds.
• Virtualization images: KVM / ACRN for consolidating RT + GUI + connectivity workloads.

Rackscale OTA

• A/B image updates with golden recovery (RAUC / Mender on x86, or image-based ostree).
• Automatic rollback via boot counting and health checks.
• Cloud / on-prem update server, staged rollouts, delta updates.
• Secure-boot-chained signed updates.

Remote diagnostics

• Evaluation images for common industrial SBCs and your hardware.
• Application SDK and Yocto eSDK.
• Debugging: kgdb, kexec / kdump crash analysis, remote gdb.
• Profiling: perf, eBPF-based tracing, boot analysis.

Isolated cores, hypervisor

• Boot streamlining: UEFI-to-app optimization, kiosk / HMI fast boot.
• CPU isolation, IRQ affinity, cache partitioning for deterministic cores.
• Hypervisor-based consolidation: RTOS or RT-Linux guest alongside HMI guest (ACRN / KVM).
• Jailhouse partitioning for safety-adjacent designs.

Burn-in, identity, fleet

• SR-IOV and virtualization paths validated under load.
• CI/CD with automated image builds and HIL validation.
• Factory imaging, provisioning, and per-device identity.
• Burn-in and production test for compute-dense systems.
