How It Works
Set Up
Baseline
We set up a baseline that includes:
- Adding your custom board into the Timesys Embedded Board Farm
- Adding your BSP code into a private Git repo that only you and Timesys can access
- Running a driver test
Review
Reports
We provide monthly vulnerability reports, and on a quarterly basis we jointly review them to determine what updates and patches you want us to apply.
Integrate Patches/ Updates/Backports
We integrate security patches / package updates and backports for your BSP as per the quarterly review.
Validate Custom
Linux OS
After integrating patches/updates, we validate the BSP by comparing the driver tests against the baseline.
Deliver Updated BSP
& Reports
We deliver updated BSP and validation reports for comparison with the previous report.
