Embedded Linux for Mission-Critical Edge Systems
Lynx helps teams build secure, maintainable embedded Linux platforms for intelligent edge systems operating in demanding commercial, aerospace, and defense environments. From tailored Linux distributions and BSP support to secure-by-design implementation, vulnerability management, and lifecycle maintenance, Lynx brings mission-critical discipline to open-source platforms.
Why Build Embedded Linux with Lynx?
Lynx combines the flexibility of open source with the engineering discipline required for secure, long-life, mission-critical systems. Our Linux solutions help teams accelerate development, strengthen platform security, reduce lifecycle risk, and maintain control without unnecessary vendor lock-in.
Key Benefits:
- Accelerate Development: Start from tailored Linux distributions and BSP support aligned to your hardware and application needs.
- Strengthen Security: Implement secure boot, encryption, hardening, update workflows, and vulnerability management from the start.
- Maintain Control: Use open-source foundations while avoiding unnecessary vendor lock-in.
- Extend Platform Life: Support long-life systems with frozen branches, security updates, CVE/KEV monitoring, and expert maintenance.
Building with Linux? A verified chain of trust is essential for protecting long-life embedded platforms from boot through runtime.
Embedded Linux Solutions Tailored to Your Platform
Whether you are building a mission-critical edge platform, commercial embedded device, or long-life connected system, Lynx helps tailor Linux to your hardware, security, performance, and lifecycle requirements.

Lifecycle Support for Long-Life Linux Platforms
Building the Linux platform is only the beginning. Lynx helps teams sustain embedded systems over long deployment windows with stable branches, security updates, vulnerability monitoring, and engineering support as requirements, threats, and hardware needs evolve.
- Frozen Branches: Maintain stable Linux baselines for long-life product programs.
- Very Long-Term Support: Support deployed systems for 10+ years with updates, patches, and vulnerability fixes.
- Vulnerability Management: Monitor CVEs, KEVs, SBOMs, and emerging security requirements with Lynx Vigiles.
- Custom Solutions: Adapt the platform as hardware, security, regulatory, or customer requirements change.
Learn how SBOMs, CVE monitoring, and VEX intelligence help embedded teams prioritize vulnerability response across the software lifecycle.
