BSP delivery and customer development

Delivery of a BSP (Board Support Package) is a collaboration model within JelinaOS customization: Advantech provides the BSP and technical support while the customer develops business functionality, or both parties share customization work. In either model, system customization, functional extensions, and other work can be combined flexibly.

Two collaboration models

Section titled “Two collaboration models”

Customer-led development

Section titled “Customer-led development”

Advantech delivers the BSP, and the customer develops independently on supported boards:

  • Delivery foundation: A ready-to-use build framework, platform adaptation, supporting tools, and documentation.
  • Development scope: Preinstalled applications and data, system configuration, feature and component extensions, and independent version evolution.
  • Advantech support: Technical assistance and issue response throughout development.

Joint development

Section titled “Joint development”

Advantech and the customer share responsibilities:

  • Layered responsibilities: Advantech handles the system layer and platform capabilities; the customer handles business logic and industry-specific features.
  • Flexible scope: Joint work can cover distribution, desktop, preinstallation, functional extensions, and other customization.
  • Joint delivery: Both parties’ work is integrated, jointly validated, and placed under version management for continued development.

Proprietary and closed-source content

Section titled “Proprietary and closed-source content”

BSP delivery follows clear intellectual property boundaries:

  • The BSP includes proprietary Advantech components delivered in closed-source form to protect the integrity and security of the system core.
  • Business code and customizations developed by the customer on the BSP are the customer’s development results.
  • Specific delivery scope and intellectual property arrangements are governed by the collaboration agreement.

Support and assurance

Section titled “Support and assurance”
  • Advantech provides technical support and issue response during customer development.
  • Functionality, stability, and update mechanisms are jointly validated before delivery.
  • Development results on supported boards can receive compatibility support for subsequent version updates.
