Requirements & Architecture
Define OS, middleware, and integration requirements aligned to ECU type, hardware platform, and compliance targets.
Platform Setup & Yocto Build
Set up Yocto build environment, create custom layers, configure the kernel, and establish BSP for target hardware.
Driver & Middleware Integration
Develop peripheral drivers, integrate ROS nodes, configure IPC and communication stacks on the Linux foundation.
Validation & Optimization
Functional validation on target hardware, boot-time and memory optimization, and vector CANoe-based communication testing.
Production Handover
Final build configuration, deployment pipeline setup, documentation package, and maintenance handover to your team.
Three core strengths that make IAST the right partner for your Linux and middleware program.
Automotive-Grade Delivery
Extensive experience in Linux and middleware for automotive systems. Solutions optimized for performance, boot time, stability, and production readiness.
