Custom Linux hardware.
Designed and delivered.

We design custom embedded Linux solutions with from-scratch processor chip-downs of NXP, TI, and Rockchip SoCs — including Yocto Linux, OTA updates, and secure boot. We produce the first series in-house, design the enclosure, and hand over all IP and production data. You stay independent.

End-to-end product engineering

You have the idea, we make it become reality. High-speed Linux board, enclosure, operating system, security, and field update infrastructure. We have you covered.

High-speed Linux board design

Complex multi-layer PCBs around NXP i.MX8/93/95, TI AM6x, or Rockchip RK35xx — with LPDDR4/5, PCIe, GbE, and your custom peripherals. No SOM limitations.

Enclosure & mechanical design

Custom metal and plastic housings with thermal management, connector cutouts, and mounting. Designed together with the board — not as an afterthought.

Yocto Linux OS

Custom distribution built for your hardware. Clean BSP layer, reproducible builds, kernel and u-boot tuned for production — not a dev-board image.

Security & OTA updates

Secure boot chain with hardware root of trust, signed images, and A/B updates with rollback. Your devices stay updatable and protected in the field.

Product compliance

EMC, RED, CE — we design for compliance from the start and run pre-compliance testing in our own EMI lab before the external test house.

Full IP handover

Schematics, layout, BOM, Yocto source, build scripts, manufacturing data. You own everything and can continue independently — with any team, any CM.

Polyvection SMT production line

Designed and produced in Germany

Not just a design house — we deliver finished hardware in low to medium quantities. Our facility handles everything from prototype to pilot series.

SMD Assembly

1–1,000 PCBAs per month. In-house SMD line with component sourcing, reflow, AOI inspection, and functional test.

CNC Aluminum Enclosures

Precision machined housings with thermal management. Also injection-molded plastics for higher volumes.

In-house EMI Lab

Pre-compliance emissions and immunity testing. Iterate in days, not weeks — fix EMI issues before the external test lab.

Rapid Prototyping

3D printing (FDM/SLA), CNC milling, laser cutting. Functional prototypes in days for mechanical and electrical validation.

The gap we close

Most companies building a Linux-based hardware product face two options. Both have real trade-offs. We offer a third.

Buy a SOM
  • Fixed pinout — limited peripheral flexibility
  • Per-unit cost stays high at scale
  • Vendor BSP often unmaintained after 2 years
  • No control over form factor or thermals
  • Fast time to first prototype
Work with us
  • Custom board, exact peripherals you need
  • Optimized BOM — cost-effective at any volume
  • Yocto BSP built for long-term maintainability
  • OTA updates and secure boot from day one
  • Enclosure, PCBA, EMI validation in-house
  • Full IP and production data handover
Build in-house
  • Requires experienced HW + Yocto + RF team
  • Long ramp-up — 12–18 months to production
  • EMI and production tooling overhead
  • Hard to maintain Linux security posture long-term
  • Full control if team is large enough

From specification to production

A typical project runs 2–6 months from kick-off to pilot series. We work in short iterations with hardware-in-the-loop — no handoff gaps between disciplines.
