Embedded Linux, Yocto platforms and product security.
We develop, upgrade and support embedded Linux products. Firmware, hardware and complete products too.
Already have a product? We take on existing Yocto builds, BSPs and security updates as well as new platforms.
Yocto Linux platforms
New platforms, upgrades of existing builds and ongoing maintenance, with long-term support.
Board support packages
Linux brought up on your own hardware: bootloader, kernel, device tree and drivers.
Product security and CRA readiness
Security hardening, secure updates and vulnerability management for the Cyber Resilience Act.
We also take on the whole product. For the Octopus Home Mini, CAD Pro, Yoris and Canary Care we did the system design, the hardware and the firmware.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Rufilla and would have no hesitation in recommending them.
Joe and his team have always been on hand and have reliably responded rapidly and flexibly where necessary despite our development priorities changing from time to time, communicating effectively throughout. Together, we have built a comprehensive build process and system architecture which underpins our products despite our initial lack of expertise in the technologies we chose to use for the developments.
Robin Mugridge
Systems Software Group Leader
A perfect partner for our project.
We approached Rufilla to develop a remote alarm system for our acute care hospital beds to alert staff when patients are preparing to get out of the bed.
The project required system design, multi-source component specification, procurement, assembly and testing. Rufilla worked through the project with quiet professionalism and delivered on time and at manageable cost.
Chris Stacey
Managing Director
Great communications, skills and handover contributed to a very satisfactory result for us.
We called Rufilla for specialist help with a Yocto project. Not having dealt with them previously, we were not sure how this would work out.
Joe’s team were immediately on the case and provided solutions beyond our expectations.
