Understanding the 4 Core Components of an Embedded Linux System

Before diving into how to build a complete embedded Linux system, it’s important to know what major parts make up the system itself. A good way to understand this is by looking at the boot process — what happens when you power on a device like an embedded controller, industrial gateway, or smart gadget.

Each component plays a specific role in bringing the system to life, step by step. Here's a simple breakdown of the four essential parts of an embedded Linux system:

1. 🧠 Boot ROM – The Starting Point Inside the SoC

The Boot ROM is the very first code that runs when you power on your embedded device. It’s stored in read-only memory directly inside the System-on-Chip (SoC) and is similar to the BIOS on a standard computer. Although it's locked and can't be changed, it can react to external configurations (like boot pins) to decide where to load the next stage from – such as an SD card, eMMC, NAND flash, or even over UART/serial.

Some Boot ROMs also support secure boot by only allowing signed software to load next, adding a strong layer of security to the embedded system.

2. 🚀 Bootloader – Initializing the Hardware and Loading the Kernel

After the Boot ROM finishes its job, it passes control to the Bootloader. In many cases, the bootloader itself runs in two steps:

First stage: Prepares the system by initializing the RAM (since it's not ready right after power-up).

Second stage: Loads the Linux kernel from a chosen storage device or over a network (useful during development via TFTP).

Modern bootloaders also include features to:

Flash firmware or kernels onto memory devices like NAND or eMMC,

Test hardware components like I2C/SPI, RAM, and others,

Run Power-On Self-Tests (POST) to ensure system stability before launching the OS.

Popular bootloaders like U-Boot are often used in embedded Linux development for their flexibility and wide hardware support.

3. 🧩 Linux Kernel – The Core of the Operating System

The Linux Kernel is the brain of the system and is responsible for:

Talking to the hardware (drivers for peripherals),

Handling system tasks like scheduling and memory management,

Creating a stable environment for your applications to run.

It acts as the bridge between the hardware layer and the user space, making it possible to develop portable embedded applications that don’t rely on the specifics of the underlying board.

4. 📁 Root File System – The Application Playground

Once the kernel is up and running, its next task is to mount the root file system — the place where all applications, scripts, and shared libraries live.

Creating this from scratch is complex due to package dependencies and compatibility issues. That’s why tools like Buildroot, Yocto Project, or OpenEmbedded are used to automatically build and manage the root filesystem.

These tools help embedded developers customize and maintain a lightweight and reliable file system tailored to their device, ensuring consistency and performance.

Board Support Package (BSP) Development - Epsum Labs

In the world of embedded systems, getting hardware and software to work together seamlessly is no small feat. That’s where the Board Support Package (BSP) comes in—a critical component that ensures your operating system (OS) communicates effectively with your hardware.

But what exactly is BSP, and why does it matter for embedded development? 

Let’s break it down step by step in simple terms.

What is a Board Support Package (BSP)?

Think of BSP as a bridge between hardware and software. It contains the essential drivers, configuration files, and bootloaders that allow an OS—like Linux—to run on a specific hardware platform.

Without it, your board is just an expensive piece of silicon!

Core Components of BSP:

✅ Bootloader – Wakes up the hardware and loads the OS into memory. ✅ Kernel & Device Tree (DTB) – Customizes the OS to recognize hardware features like GPIOs, buses, and memory. ✅ Device Drivers – Enables communication between the OS and peripherals (USB, Ethernet, Display, etc.). ✅ Root Filesystem (RootFS) – Houses system libraries, scripts, and utilities that run in user space. ✅ Board Configuration Files – Stores startup scripts and kernel configurations to define system behavior.

Step-by-Step BSP Development Process

Building a BSP isn’t just about writing code—it’s a structured process to ensure hardware and software integration. Here’s how it works:

🔹 Step 1: Hardware Bring-Up – Getting the board powered up and running. 🔹 Step 2: Bootloader Configuration & Debugging – Setting up the bootloader to initialize hardware correctly. 🔹 Step 3: Kernel & DTB Porting – Modifying the Linux Kernel and device tree to match the board’s hardware. 🔹 Step 4: Building the Root Filesystem (RootFS) – Creating the system environment using tools like Yocto or Buildroot. 🔹 Step 5: OS Bring-Up & Debugging – Testing and debugging system boot, drivers, and peripherals. 🔹 Step 6: Driver Development & Optimization – Customizing device drivers and improving boot times. 🔹 Step 7: BSP Finalization & Deployment – Packaging everything and deploying it onto the target board.

Each step ensures that your embedded system runs efficiently and reliably.

The Motivation Behind Toradex Embedded Linux BSP 3.x

We recently released our Embedded Linux BSP 3.0 beta, and we would like to provide you some insights into our motivation for the changes and new features in BSP 3.x

The primary reason for the jump from 2.8 directly to 3.0 is that our Embedded Linux BSPs 3.x will no longer be based on the Ångström distribution. We have used the Ångström distribution for many years to provide a simple out-of-the-box experience that includes a desktop environment, to help with initial steps and to simplify development. It was never intended to be directly deployed to volume products.

With the introduction of Torizon, we now provide a superior out-of-the-box experience. Torizon is intended to be directly deployed into final products. It provides the Docker container runtime, offering access to a multitude of userspace and application environments. It also supports Toradex’s tools, such as our Flash Analytics Tool. Torizon even comes with a Debian-based default container that gives you access to thousands of prebuilt packages in a familiar Debian environment, so you can get started fast.

We typically recommend Torizon to customers who are not familiar with the Yocto Project. Experienced Yocto Project developers will find BSP 3.x to be very closely aligned with Poky, the Yocto Project reference distro. Thus, it provides you with an ideal starting point for your own custom Linux build.

This BSP also includes updated bootloaders and kernels. We moved to OpenEmbedded Thud and Yocto Project 2.6.

BSP3.x is supported on Apalis TK1 and all our i.MX-based products. On the Colibri VF50, VF61, T20 and T30, and on the Apalis T30, we will continue maintaining our long-term supported (LTS) BSP 2.8. We will provide updates in the event of hardware changes, and we will regularly fix critical bugs.

You can find more information about long-term support on our developer webpage.

To keep track of updates and get email notifications, we highly recommend subscribing to updates with our new Get Update feature, on the BSP Roadmap Page.

Please note that BSP 3.0 beta 1 was released for the Apalis iMX8QM only. The upcoming BSP 3.0 beta 2 will support all i.MX-based products and the Apalis TK1.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. You can post in our community forum or contact our technical support teams directly.

6 Things You Should Know to Elevate Your Embedded Linux Software Development

Getting started with embedded Linux development is now easier than ever. But to build a reliable, production-ready system, you need to go beyond the basics. Here are six critical areas to focus on to take your Linux-based embedded product to the next level.

1) Driver Development: Ensure Hardware Compatibility Before finalizing your hardware design, always verify whether Linux drivers are available for the components you choose. Most silicon vendors test their reference boards with Linux, so chances are drivers exist. But replacing parts to cut costs without checking driver availability can lead to time-consuming development efforts.

2) BSP Adaptation: Match Software to Hardware When working with a System-on-Module (SoM), you’ll need to tailor the BSP (Board Support Package) to your exact hardware setup. This involves configuring the Linux kernel and adjusting the device tree — a special file that describes the hardware layout. Learning to navigate device tree files (DTS) is essential, even if it seems complex at first.

3) Boot Time Optimization: Speed Up System Start Fast boot times matter in many industries — from automotive to consumer devices. By default, bootloaders and kernels aren’t optimized for speed. You’ll need to tweak U-Boot settings, delay non-critical driver loads, and streamline startup scripts to meet performance expectations.

4) Power Consumption: Build Energy-Efficient Products Battery-powered products demand smart power management. Standard Linux kernels often don’t use all the SoC’s power-saving features out of the box. Techniques like clock gating, power domains, and peripheral shutdowns require deep hardware-software collaboration to extend battery life.

5) Real-Time Requirements: Add Determinism If Needed Linux isn’t a real-time OS by default. For soft real-time tasks, standard Linux may suffice. But when you need hard real-time behavior, tools like Xenomai can be integrated — though they require careful driver and kernel-level modifications.

6) System Updates: Keep Your Product Secure & Up-To-Date Over-the-air (OTA) updates are essential today, but Linux doesn’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution. You’ll need to handle updates for the bootloader, kernel, and root file system, often using partitioning techniques like dual-image systems. Done right, it ensures system integrity even in cases of power loss during an update.

The Takeaway While Linux-based embedded systems are easier to launch than ever before, truly robust product development still requires thoughtful planning and technical know-how. The good news? If you know where to focus — like the six areas above — you can streamline development, reduce risks, and get to market faster.
