Linux Kernel Development, Driver Upstreaming & Long-Term BSP Maintenance

The Linux kernel evolves constantly — and your product should evolve with it. BayLibre engineers have been steady contributors, reviewers, and maintainers across dozens of kernel subsystems for over 20 years.

We help teams bring up new hardware, deliver long-term maintainable drivers, optimize power and performance, and upstream custom features so that they become part of mainline Linux. This eliminates forks, reduces technical debt, and ensures your devices stay secure and future-proof.

As a Linux Foundation member and a frequent top-20 kernel contributor, BayLibre brings unmatched credibility and deep community integration to every kernel engagement.

Our services include:

Linux kernel bring-up & driver development

Power, performance & reliability optimization

Upstreaming, reviews & long-term maintenance
