Why engineers avoid Linux
Embedded Linux is powerful, but most engineers know the pain. Maintaining BSPs, patching Yocto, and building update systems takes time. For many, it feels too complex to be worth the effort.
If you are building for IoT or Industrial devices, these challenges scale quickly. Each update becomes harder to manage. Security gaps appear. Products stall.
The Foundries.io approach
Foundries.io created FoundriesFactory™ to remove that barrier. It’s a DevOps platform that combines Software, Processor, and MCU support into one managed environment. Engineers get CI/CD pipelines, OTA updates, and device management without having to bolt together separate tools.
Push code, trigger builds, and roll out updates. It feels like a cloud workflow, but it runs on embedded systems.
What people love
Engineers using the platform often say the same thing: it just works. Yocto normally needs constant attention. With Foundries.io, that overhead disappears. Security patches and update infrastructure are integrated, so teams can focus on their product.
For companies working in Automotive or Telecoms/Networking, this reliability is key. Managing fleets of connected devices without a unified process can cripple scaling.
Backed by Qualcomm
In 2023, Foundries.io was acquired by Qualcomm. That deal connected the platform with a wider Edge and Security ecosystem.
A good example is Edge Impulse. Engineers can train models there, then use Foundries.io to deploy them securely with OTA updates across Qualcomm devices. This links AI development with practical lifecycle management.
Getting started today
Foundries.io supports boards from Raspberry Pi, NXP, TI, and of course Qualcomm. Quick-start docs make it simple to begin.
The road ahead
Foundries.io is expanding hardware support and adding new Scalability features. Expect to see more platforms added soon, including third-party boards using Qualcomm chips.
Conclusion
Embedded Linux doesn’t need to be scary. FoundriesFactory™ makes it manageable by combining Linux, CI/CD, and OTA in one platform. With Qualcomm backing and strong ties to Low Power and Edge AI development, it is becoming a go-to choice for anyone building connected products.
