From new silicon to a secure, AI-capable product

Most embedded products ship on a chip vendor's board support package: often a forked kernel that is rarely upstreamed or independently audited, and is frozen on an old release. We replace as much of it as we can with software we build, audit and maintain ourselves, using AI agents directed by our engineers.

AI-driven bring-up

AI agents write most of the board support package, and the hardware judges the result: changes are tested on physical boards in our lab, with remote power, serial consoles and scripted boot.

  • Bootloader and secure firmware stages
  • Linux kernel based on mainline (the official, publicly maintained kernel), with device trees and drivers
  • Graphics, display, video and USB enablement
  • New platforms on our own boot chain instead of the vendor's BSP

Firmware supply-chain security

Vendor firmware and binaries are inspected rather than trusted, and findings are recorded as evidence, not asserted.

  • Independent audit of vendor boot and secure-world (TrustZone) firmware
  • Search for undocumented interfaces and open debug paths
  • Agent review of our own firmware changes for input-validation and privilege flaws
  • Working toward an auditable boot chain on maintained, open software

Our AI engine

One engine targets the board's CPUs, DSPs and NPUs without the chip vendor's AI SDK.

  • Reasoning, audio and vision models
  • Backends for CPUs, DSPs and NPUs
  • On-device inference, with no cloud round trip

Firmware audited, not trusted, on hardware you can deploy.

Devices across industry and infrastructure run firmware few people outside the chip vendor have read. We replace it with open software where we can, inspect and document what remains, and maintain it on mainline-based Linux for the life of the product. Next, we plan to assemble our own reference and production boards in the United States, so American customers can go from prototype to deployed units on domestic assembly.
