Draft:The Embedded Kit
| Submission declined on 19 August 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed.

The Embedded Kit
[edit]The Embedded Kit is a brand that develops embedded Linux system software, development tools, and related software. Its software products are aimed at other companies developing embedded systems such as medical device, smart energy, home appliances, industrial automation, and other electronic devices and infrastructure.
Its products help software development teams build, connect, test and secure embedded devices running on integrated circuit from manufacturers such as NXP, STMicroelectronics, MediaTek and Intel.
The Embedded Kit is based in Seattle, Lyon, Paris, Bristol, and Stuttgart.
Unveiled for the first time at CES Las Vegas.[1], this brand, designed by Witekio, was officially launched at SIDO in 2023[2].
Software products
[edit]Linux distribution
[edit]September 19, 2023, The Embedded Kit introduced Welma at SIDO. This production-ready Linux distribution is specifically tailored for embedded systems.
Key features include:
- A minimal distribution based on the Yocto Project[3]
- Pre-integration of BSP from Silicon and SOM vendors
- Qt support
- OTA update functionality through Mender (NorthernTech) and SWUpdate
- Secure boot and secure storage
- DevOps platform
Welma is designed for compatibility with a wide array of Linux-supported hardware, including NXP i.MX8 and i.MX9, STMicroelectronics STM32MP1 and STM32MP2, Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, MediaTek Genio 700, and Intel X86.[4]
At Embedded World in Nuremberg in 2024, The Embedded Kit, alongside STMicroelectronics, introduced a bundled hardware and software solution featuring Mender and Qt solutions, specifically for the STM32MP25 [5] to eliminate unnecessary time and effort for equipment manufacturers in researching, sourcing, and integrating necessary solutions in their embedded system.
Embedded testing tool
[edit]Pluma is The Embedded Kit’s automated testing tool. This tool designed to ensure the reliability and maintenance of industrial-grade products, covering both hardware and embedded software testing. It streamlines test management with a set of predefined test actions and allows for the addition of custom actions.
Pluma supports the creation of detailed test plans and the configuration of target devices, executing tests in a manner that replicates user interaction. It is capable of handling various testing scenarios, including endurance testing, performance evaluation, data connectivity verification, application feature testing, and protocol analysis, all supported by a suite of Linux tests.
The Embedded Kit testing tool integrates with CI pipelines and provides detailed reporting and metrics for thorough assessment.
Linux device management platform
[edit]Unveiled at CES Las Vegas in January 2023[1], Kamea, The Embedded Kit’s IoT and Linux device management platform, enables the organized monitoring and maintenance of Linux device fleets.
This platform includes user and group management, role-based access control, and tenant separation. Additional features encompass integrated device creation, status monitoring, support for multiple data ingestion protocols, a customizable web and mobile application framework, telemetry and data management, event handling, and remote configuration management.
Vulnerability scanner
[edit]CVE Scan is a security vulnerability scanner for embedded systems. It helps device makers comply with cybersecurity standards like the Cyber Resilience Act in Europe, which requires the identification and reporting of product vulnerabilities throughout their lifecycle. CVE Scan aids in this process by identifying Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) within your operating system and libraries, tracking both existing and newly discovered vulnerabilities, and allowing for detailed manual annotations. By reducing the number of false positives, it decreases the maintenance workload for software development and operations teams.
Key functions include extracting a detailed Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) from all used Yocto or Buildroot packages, accurately identifying system-specific vulnerabilities based on kernel and U-Boot configurations, and providing automatic review insights to facilitate the review process. This CVE Scanner can be integrated into a CI/CD environment, ensuring continuous monitoring and management of vulnerabilities through outputs in JSON, Excel, or a web interface[6]
Cybersecurity research
[edit]The Embedded Kit has partnered with ERIC, a research laboratory affiliated with Lyon 2 and Lyon 1 Universities, to fortify the cybersecurity of embedded systems through the development of advanced Machine Learning algorithms. In 2022, this collaboration successfully obtained funding under France’s National Cybersecurity Strategy 2030, facilitated by BPI France.[7]
