EmbedForge
BUILD · EMBED · DEPLOY
Enterprise-grade build orchestration for custom embedded Linux and RTOS firmware. Elastic compute, integration with your security stack, and compliance automation in a single platform, whether you build with Yocto, Buildroot, Zephyr, Debian, or Ubuntu.
Enterprise Build Orchestration
Elastic Cloud Build Compute
Managed cloud that bursts to dozens of cores on demand and scales to zero when idle. Zero build infrastructure to maintain, patch, or babysit. Pair with self-hosted runners when workloads must stay in your network.
Declarative Templates
Complete build configurations for Yocto, Buildroot, Zephyr, Debian, and Ubuntu: packages, containers, kernel and devicetree, Secure Boot, OTA, and more. One template, everything included.
Verified Boot
Every image is booted under QEMU before you ship it. A build that compiles but doesn't boot, a missing init, a broken bootloader, is caught here, not in the field.
Your Security Stack, Integrated
A deliberately basic built-in CVE check gives every build a first signal, not a full security product. Post-build hooks hand the image and SBOM to the commercial scanner or risk platform you already license. EmbedForge is the build and evidence layer, not another scanner to displace one you have.
Self-Hosted & CI-Native
Run builds on your own infrastructure with a self-hosted runner, so images and sources never leave your network. Required for Debian and Ubuntu image builds, and recommended for air-gapped or highly regulated workloads. Trigger from your existing Jenkins, GitLab, or GitHub pipeline and gate on the exit code; post-build hooks plug in your security stack, artifact store, or webhook.
Containers at Build-Time
Declare Podman Quadlet containers directly in your image config. Devices boot with containers baked in, no runtime pull, fully offline-capable. Available for Yocto builds, and for Debian or Ubuntu when built on a self-hosted runner.

Built for Embedded Linux Teams
Embedded Linux Vendors
Replace fragmented Jenkins + scripts with a purpose-built build platform.
BSP & Silicon Vendors
Publish verified templates for your boards; customers build with one click.
Consultancies & SIs
Multi-tenant project isolation. Each client's builds separate, auditable, reproducible.
Product Companies
Move to purpose-built, minimal, secure firmware: Yocto, Buildroot or Zephyr, or a customized Debian or Ubuntu image on a self-hosted runner. Guided setup either way.
OTA & Middleware Vendors
Validate your integrations across releases and board targets at scale.
Enterprise Platform Teams
Centralized governance, RBAC, and compliance across divisions.

What Sets Us Apart
No Build Servers
Elastic cloud compute replaces your always-on, always-full workstation. Zero infrastructure to manage.
Five Platforms, One UI
The only platform where Yocto, Buildroot, Zephyr, Debian, and Ubuntu builds live in a single UI. Same project view, same evidence pipeline, same audit trail across the whole stack.
CRA Compliance, Article by Article
Every gap, advisory, and document field cites the binding CRA clause. Severity floor in the score, effective-vs-raw view, two-tier support model, one-click CRA Bundle.
No Lock-In, Guaranteed
Export any template as a self-contained, buildable workspace: pinned sources, exact configuration, plain build.sh. Your image builds off-platform with only open-source tooling, on every platform. Even the secure-boot keys are yours to take.
Compliance Evidence, Produced By Your Build Platform
Because EmbedForge already orchestrates every build, layer, and CVE, the CRA evidence comes out as a byproduct - not as a separate compliance tool you have to integrate.
Why now
The CRA reporting phase opens on 11 June 2026, with full application on 11 December 2027. Manufacturers placing connected products on the EU market must produce SBOM, VEX, Declaration of Conformity, and Annex VII technical documentation, plus respond to Art. 14 vulnerability reporting deadlines.
The CRA Bundle
One ZIP per build. Drop it into your technical documentation file and keep for 10 years (Art. 20).
Article-Mapped Capabilities
Mapped to the regulation, clause by clause
No known exploitable vulnerabilities
EU CRA badge with explicit pass/fail. KEV counter from CISA. Severity floor in the score so a single Critical can never read as low risk.
Posture improves over time
Per-build security delta: added CVEs, fixed CVEs, KEV deltas, and score delta versus the previous scan on the same template.
Integrator due diligence
Two-tier support model: vendor commitment plus manufacturer commitment, separately tracked. Amber advisory when they diverge.
Support period disclosure
Template-level support period, backfilled for platform-managed templates from upstream EOL. Required for the CRA badge to pass.
24h / 72h / 14d reporting
Auto-generated notifications when CVE feeds affect previously-scanned builds. Pre-filled Art. 14(2) report templates with SLA clocks per notification.
Declaration of Conformity
Pre-filled DoC draft inside every CRA Bundle. You fill the manufacturer markers (signatory, harmonised standards, signature) before placing on the market.
Boundaries
What the platform doesn't do
Honest framing. These belong to the manufacturer:
- Selecting the conformity assessment module (A vs B+C vs H)
- Engaging a notified body for Class II / critical PDEs (Annex IV)
- Signing the Declaration of Conformity
- Submitting Art. 14 reports to your national CSIRT and ENISA
