NXP Embedded Linux Support
Build, secure and maintain the Linux software in your NXP-based product with engineering support from Lynx.
Whether you are customizing a vendor BSP, preparing a custom board for production or maintaining a deployed product, Lynx helps with the platform work your team needs next: BSP development, security implementation, vulnerability management and ongoing maintenance.
Embedded Linux Support Across NXP Platforms
Lynx provides embedded Linux engineering, security, and lifecycle support for NXP i.MX, Layerscape, and QorIQ processors. We work with existing board support packages (BSPs), Linux build environments, and custom hardware to help teams adapt, secure, and maintain Linux-based products.
NXP processor families and platforms
- i.MX 6 / 7: i.MX 6Quad, i.MX 6ULL, i.MX 7Dual, and related platforms
- i.MX 8 / 9: i.MX 8M Mini, i.MX 8M Plus, i.MX 93, i.MX 95, and related platforms
- Layerscape (Arm): LS1028A, LS1046A, LX2160A, and related processors
- Legacy QorIQ (Power Architecture): P-series and T-series processors
Linux BSPs and build environments
- NXP i.MX Linux BSP, Layerscape SDK (LSDK), and legacy QorIQ SDK
- Yocto Project (meta-imx, meta-freescale) and Buildroot
- OpenWrt-based systems on applicable networking platforms
- U-Boot, Linux kernel, device trees, drivers, and custom BSP layers
Whether you're starting with an NXP evaluation kit, a third-party system-on-module (SoM), or a custom production board, Lynx can work with your existing software baseline to support development, security, and long-term maintenance.
NXP Experience in Real Products
Lynx's published industrial gateway case describes work on an Advantech RSB-4411 with an NXP i.MX 6 processor and a Yocto BSP. The project combined secure boot, filesystem encryption, firmware-update protection and platform hardening.
Read the NXP i.MX 6 gateway case study
A separate medical-device case describes maintaining an NXP i.MX 6-based product with an Advantech Yocto BSP, shared build/test infrastructure and vulnerability management.
Find Support for the Work in Front of You
Customize the BSP for Your Product
Get help with board bring-up, Yocto layers, bootloader and kernel changes, drivers and product-specific integration. For a product line with multiple hardware revisions, define the common baseline and the changes each variant needs so updates can be managed and tested deliberately.
Implement Security Around the Boot and Update Design
VigiShield helps integrate secure boot, storage protection, hardening and update security into your product's Linux BSP. Scope the controls to your NXP hardware, key-management design and recovery requirements.
Maintain Released NXP Products
Lynx helps sustain Linux OS and BSP baselines through updates, patches, vulnerability review and hardware validation. Set the maintenance scope around your customizations, regression constraints and field-support requirements.
Manage Vulnerabilities Across NXP Releases
Vigiles connects software inventory, CVE findings and remediation decisions across releases, helping your team prioritize vulnerability work and support security reporting for the product you ship. Use those findings to plan remediation with your team or scoped Lynx engineering and maintenance support.
Discuss Your NXP Project
Tell us which NXP processor and board you use, the BSP or build environment, and the work you need to resolve. Share any boot, update or maintenance constraints you already know; you do not need every detail before contacting us.
Lynx will help identify the relevant engineering or support path and the next step for your product.
