Our Expertise

End-to-End Jetson Development Services

From custom board bring-up to application integration with OTA updates, we provide the deep expertise you need.

Yocto Project & L4T Migration

Expert migration from NVIDIA L4T to a custom, production-grade Yocto distribution, giving you full control over your OS. The Yocto Project generates reproducible OS builds from source code with a software bill of materials manifest that is increasingly required for regulatory and industry standards.

Advanced Security & Encryption

Implementation of Secure Boot, authenticated UEFI, disk encryption, and per-device keys to protect your IP and data at the edge.

CUDA & AI Workflow Integration

Enablement of native CUDA applications, Triton Inference Server, and containerized (Docker) workflows for flexible AI deployment.

Robust OTA Updates

Integration of powerful OTA solutions like Mender and RAUC for reliable, secure, and scalable A/B differential updates.

Custom BSP & Driver Development

Board Support Package (BSP) development for custom carriers, device tree configuration, and system performance tuning.

Real-Time Linux Kernel

Real-Time Linux Kernel (Preempt-RT) support for applications requiring deterministic performance and low latency.

Konsulko Orca OS: Production-Ready Linux for the AI Edge

Accelerate your time-to-market with Konsulko Orca OS™, the production-ready Linux operating system designed for secure, high-performance AI applications on NVIDIA Jetson platforms. Built on the Yocto Project. It offers secure boot, encrypted storage, and reliable over-the-air (OTA) updates, optimized for NVIDIA Jetson Orin platforms.

Key features include long-term support, failsafe A/B OTA updates with rollback, hardened production builds, remote diagnostics, and cloud management via Azure IoT Hub.

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.

Proven Success

Powering Innovation Across Industries

We’ve helped customers deploy mission-critical AI applications in demanding environments.

Case Study 1: Medical

Konsulko assisted with two separate medical device projects, both built on NVIDIA Jetson platforms (TK1 and TX2). For both projects, we migrated the underlying OS from NVIDIA L4T to a production-ready Yocto Project distribution. A key requirement was creating and maintaining a custom SDK to enable their developers to build CUDA applications.

Throughout the multi-year engagement, we managed significant system upgrades, including new L4T versions and corresponding CUDA SDK updates, which required careful handling of specific toolchain and compiler dependencies.

Key Deliverables 

  • Migration from L4T to Yocto for both TK1 and TX2 platforms
  • Created and maintained a custom SDK for CUDA application development
  • Managed L4T and CUDA version upgrades
  • Provided runtime support for CUDA and related libraries/languages (e.g., Python)
  • Resolved complex, older compiler dependencies required by CUDA

Case Study 2: Electric Utility & Power Management

Konsulko provided a production-secure, encrypted OS using Yocto and a mainline Linux kernel to serve as a base for AI applications operating at the grid edge.

Key Deliverables 

  • Enabled custom distribution on COTS and custom Orin Nano SOMs as well as a custom carrier board
  • NVIDIA Secure Boot with Factory Secure Key Provisioning (FSKP) support & Authenticated UEFI
  • Production lock down of UEFI and userspace
  • Read-only encrypted rootfs & encrypted data volume with per-device encryption keys
  • Mender A/B differential updates
  • Support for CUDA & Triton Inference Server

Case Study 3: Agriculture

Konsulko managed an extensive, multi-year engagement for an agricultural robotics platform, migrating from L4T to Yocto with ROS support and advanced OTA.

Key Deliverables 

  • Migration to Yocto on AGX Xavier
  • Robot Operating System (ROS) integration
  • RAUC for robust A/B updates
  • Standalone SDK for CUDA development
  • Enabled Real-Time Linux Kernel patch

Case Study 4: Medical

Konsulko implemented security for a revolutionary medical dermatology robot, ensuring firmware and OS integrity on the Jetson Orin NX platform.

Key Deliverables 

  • Secure Boot of firmware and UEFI on Orin NX
  • Yocto best practices consulting
  • System hardening for medical device compliance
