North Atlantic Industries manufactures vertically integrated embedded COTS hardware—single board computers, multifunction I/O boards, power supplies, and integrated systems—for defense, commercial aerospace, and industrial applications. The stack reveals a hardware-centric org: FPGA design (VHDL), embedded Linux (PetaLinux, Yocto, U-Boot), and secure boot implementation dominate the project list, while pain points cluster around yield, non-conformance, and design-in delays—typical of high-mix, low-volume manufacturing where each customer variant demands custom firmware and BSP work.
Founded in 1955, NAI designs and manufactures rugged embedded systems for mission-critical applications in defense, aerospace, and industrial sectors. The product line spans over 70 pre-integrated modules, single board computers, I/O boards, and power supplies, all built to withstand demanding operational environments. The company operates a vertically integrated model combining design, manufacturing, and verification in-house. Active projects center on board support package development, Linux kernel drivers, embedded security, and Qt-based test software—reflecting a customer base that requires custom integration and long qualification cycles.
NAI develops board support packages and Linux kernel drivers for single board computers and multifunction I/O boards, using PetaLinux, Yocto, U-Boot, and VxWorks. Current projects include BSP development for custom SBC product lines.
Embedded security and secure boot implementation are active development areas. Projects include secure boot and measured boot processes, with support for OpenSSL and WolfSSL cryptographic libraries.
