Reproducible, maintainable, production-ready. Yocto and OpenEmbedded build systems for embedded Linux product teams.

Layer is Razetime's Yocto and build systems practice. The Yocto Project is the industry standard for building custom embedded Linux distributions — and it is also one of the most complex build systems in existence. We build and maintain Yocto-based build systems that are reproducible, understandable, and maintainable by the engineers who will own them after we leave.
Development of custom Yocto/OpenEmbedded layers for hardware BSP, application packages, and custom distribution configuration. Layer architecture designed for long-term maintainability across LTS kernel and Yocto releases.
Custom embedded Linux distribution configuration using Yocto — minimal footprint images, hardened security configurations, application-specific package sets, and update mechanism integration.
Application developer SDK generation from Yocto builds. Cross-compilation toolchain configuration, sysroot packaging, and IDE integration for hardware-coupled application development teams.
Reproducible build configuration using Yocto hash equivalence and shared state caches. Release branching strategy, version pinning, and long-term support track management across product generations.
Integration of Yocto builds into CI/CD pipelines — Jenkins, GitLab CI, and GitHub Actions. Incremental build optimisation, shared state cache management, and automated image testing on hardware or QEMU targets.
Migration of existing Yocto builds to current LTS releases. Layer compatibility analysis, recipe migration, kernel version upgrade, and validation of the build against the target hardware platform.
Whether you are starting a new Yocto project, inheriting a legacy build system, or upgrading to a current Yocto LTS release, our Layer team can help you build something maintainable.
