Konsulko Group extends Edge AI practice on Jetson, joins NPN

Konsulko engineers have a long history providing hardware and software services for our customers deploying artificial intelligence in embedded products, particularly on NVIDIA^® platforms.

We offer end-to-end Jetson^™ development services for the entire NVIDIA Jetson family, including custom hardware designs, board bring-up and application integration with OTA updates. Some of our particular expertise includes:

• Expert migration from NVIDIA L4T to a custom, production-grade Yocto distribution
• Implementation of Secure Boot, authenticated UEFI, disk encryption, and per-device keys to protect IP and data at the Edge
• CUDA and AI workflow integration for flexible AI deployment
• Integration of powerful OTA solutions like Mender and RAUC for reliable, secure, and scalable A/B differential updates
• Board Support Package (BSP) development for custom carriers, device tree configuration, and system performance tuning
• Real-Time Linux Kernel (Preempt-RT) support for applications requiring deterministic performance and low latency

Last November, we announced Konsulko Orca OS™, a production-ready Linux operating system designed for secure, high-performance AI applications on NVIDIA Jetson platforms that can be delivered to Konsulko customers as part of a services engagement. Built on the Yocto Project, it offers secure boot, encrypted storage, and reliable over-the-air (OTA) updates, optimized for NVIDIA Jetson Orin platforms.

Emphasizing a security-first approach, Orca OS utilizes NVIDIA secure boot and dm-verity for a read-only root filesystem, plus dm-crypt/LUKS for encrypted data. Its Yocto Project foundation ensures reproducible builds, an automatic Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), and tailored SDKs, all backed by broad industry support.

Recently, Konsulko Group was selected to join the NVIDIA Partner Network (NPN), a global ecosystem of technology partners designed to help design, build, and deliver NVIDIA AI-accelerated computing solutions. We look forward to working with NVIDIA and the many members of NPN as we continue to help our customers around the world develop successful products.

Please contact us to discuss your engineering services requirements for your next Jetson-based project.
