Hardware Bring-Up, System Software & Production-Grade BSPs

Low-level software engineered for reliability, determinism, and scale.

Developing a product that involves a hardware involves two major focus areas:

Hardware & system Software: Reliable, Repeatable hardware-BSP combo that works every time.
Key differentiator Application – This is where customer adds its own secret sauce: IP algorithms, AI applications, Drone/UAV applications,

It becomes complex for a small team or startup to drive both low-level hardware/system software and their own application IP. If low level components like hardware, system software, firmware are not designed right from day one, they often result in expensive Delays. Flextride can offload the hardware & low-level firmware part for you, so that all your engineering effort goes into creating the secret sauce, the differentiator IP of the product.

Flextride can deliver the low-level hardware interaction with precision.

Flextride specializes in hardware bring-up and system software for complex embedded platforms. With decades of collective experience, our team has designed and maintained production BSPs across Arm and PowerPC architectures, supporting products that demand long lifecycles, real-time behaviour, and field reliability.

We design BSPs (Board Support Package) with a system-first mindset, accounting for processing domains, real-time constraints, and long-term maintainability right from first line of code.

Our expertise

Processor Architecture – Arm Cortex A profile 64-bit, Arm Cortex M profile, PowerPC, X_86 64
VM platforms: VMware, Nutanix. Hyper-V.
Yocto based BSPs for variety of hardware platforms.
Custom Linux Operating system Distribution for VM and Physical hardware environments. This is most suited to controlled and secure gateways running in virtualized environment.
