What is included in a 30-minute Edge Architecture Review?

A solutions engineer walks through your sensor inventory, connectivity constraints, and existing OT/IT stack, then maps them to Pervasive Edge Linux, supported System-on-Module families, and Pervasive Device Cloud orchestration. You leave with a written one-pager covering recommended SKUs, BSP scope, and a realistic 14-week time-to-first-production path.

How fast can the Pervasive Edge Linux BSP be brought up on custom hardware?

On any of the 14 pre-validated System-on-Module families, BSP bring-up completes in under 48 hours. For custom carrier boards, our engineers co-design the schematics and typically reach a production-ready image in 6–10 weeks, depending on peripheral count.

What security and compliance certifications does Pervasive Systems hold?

Pervasive Systems has held ISO 9001:2015 certification since 2014 and SOC 2 Type II attestation since 2021. The platform supports secure device onboarding, signed firmware updates, and is used as a sole-source supplier on three U.S. Department of Defense programs.

Is there a way to evaluate the platform before a commercial commitment?

Yes. The Pervasive Device Cloud free tier supports up to 100 devices indefinitely and is currently used by more than 4,300 developers as a sandbox before commercial conversion.

THE PLATFORM

One accountable vendor across the full edge stack.

Most edge programs stitch together three vendors — a board house, a firmware shop, and an orchestrator. Pervasive Systems ships all three as one platform, validated end-to-end before it reaches your line.

01 · HARDWARE

Reference SOMs & Gateways

Pre-validated System-on-Module families across NXP i.MX, Qualcomm, and AMD Kria. Carrier boards designed for -40°C to +85°C, with sub-15-minute zero-touch onboarding on supported SKUs.

Form factors: SOM, fanless gateway, DIN-rail
Validated SKUs: 14 SOM families
BSP bring-up: < 48 hours

Hardware reference designs

02 · FIRMWARE

Pervasive Edge Linux (PEL)

A maintained Yocto-based distribution with a 10-year security cadence, signed OTA pipelines, and a deterministic time-sensitive networking stack. Built for fleets, not demos.

Base: Yocto Kirkstone, LTS kernel
OTA: Signed, staged, rollback-aware
TSN: IEEE 802.1Qbv/Qcc profiles

PEL release notes

03 · ORCHESTRATION

Pervasive Device Cloud

Fleet management, edge AI model delivery, and policy-as-code across hundreds of thousands of nodes. Free public tier supports 100 devices indefinitely — used by 4,300+ developers as a sandbox.

Free tier: 100 devices, unlimited time
Enterprise: Role-based, audit, SAML/SCIM
Edge AI: Model registry + OTA

FROM THE FIELD

We expected six months of BSP bring-up and we got two days. PEL shipped on our reference board faster than we could order the evaluation kit from the silicon vendor. That changed the program.

Marisol Hendrick Director of Engineering, Tier-1 automotive supplier

We manage 4,200 nodes across seven plants. The last quarterly incident review lasted eleven minutes because there were no incidents. I have never said that sentence about a fleet this size.
