Embedded Linux Consultancies for NVIDIA Jetson & GStreamer Development in the USA
TL;DR
If you are building a production system on NVIDIA Jetson, you likely need more than basic Linux support. Real products require custom BSP work, kernel drivers, hardware accelerated GStreamer pipelines, AI integration with CUDA and TensorRT, and production grade security.
We are a US founded Embedded Linux consultancy with a senior engineering team based in Costa Rica. We work in full English, operate in overlapping US time zones, and travel when needed. Our focus is simple: production ready NVIDIA Jetson systems that perform reliably in the field.
Why Companies Hire Embedded Linux Consultants for Jetson Projects
Jetson developer kits make early prototyping easy. Production does not.
Once you move into custom carrier boards, multi camera systems, or AI pipelines under real time constraints, the stack becomes complex fast.
Common Production Challenges
Custom carrier board bring up
Device tree and BSP customization
Kernel driver development
High bandwidth CSI camera pipelines
Hardware encoder instability
Power and thermal tuning
Secure boot and OTA integration
Most internal teams are strong in application development. Fewer have deep Linux kernel and multimedia subsystem expertise.

Bongjin Raum Jeong
CEO & Hardware Engineer
UncommonLab
We had been blocked for several weeks trying to get USB working on our custom carrier board with JetPack 6. ProventusNova stepped in and resolved the issue in under a week, allowing us to move forward with validation and development.

Working with ProventusNova felt like having an extension of our own team. When we were stuck setting up our edge AI device, they provided not just solutions, but true expert guidance. Their collaborative approach, including jumping on video calls whenever needed, was invaluable. They possess a deep understanding of the NVIDIA Jetson platform and equipped us with a perfectly tailored development environment for our biotech needs. They are a first-rate technical partner.
Everything you need to know about
I don’t know which NVIDIA Jetson board to use. How do I avoid overspending or ending up with a low-performance device?
Choosing the wrong hardware is the most expensive mistake you can make. We start every project with a Hardware Audit. We analyze your AI model complexity (TOPS), power constraints, and thermal requirements to find the “sweet spot.” Whether it’s an Orin Nano for cost-efficiency or an Orin AGX for massive compute, we ensure you don’t pay for power you don’t use, or get stuck with a device that lags.
Why is hiring your team cheaper and more effective than building an in-house team?
Building an in-house team requires months of recruiting and high salaries for specialized embedded AI engineers. By hiring us, you bypass the learning curve. You get a “plug-and-play” team of experts who have already solved the specific driver, thermal, and optimization issues you’re facing. We deliver in weeks what usually takes an internal team months to figure out.
What happens if we aren’t satisfied with the project? Is our investment at risk?
We believe in proving our value before you commit to a long-term engagement. That’s why we offer a Risk-Free First Milestone. Once we deliver the first phase of the project, you have the opportunity to evaluate the quality of our work, our communication, and the value we provide. If you aren’t 100% satisfied with the results at that stage, we will issue a full refund —no questions asked. This ensures you can “test-drive” our expertise without any financial risk.
What if we need a custom carrier board or specialized sensors? How do you handle hardware integration?
While we don’t offer physical PCB design or electrical engineering, we specialize in the most difficult part: making the hardware “talk” to the software. If you choose a third-party carrier board or custom sensors (LIDAR, specialized IMUs, etc.), we handle the Board Support Package (BSP) customization, kernel modifications, and driver development required to make them work. We ensure that your custom hardware is fully recognized by the Jetson ecosystem so your application can access every feature without bugs.
Multi-camera setups are notoriously difficult on Jetson. How do you guarantee synchronization and support for custom cameras?
Multi-camera capture is where most projects fail due to driver conflicts and frame drops. We have deep expertise in V4L2 and GStreamer. Whether you are using GMSL2, FPD-Link, or USB3, we handle the complex driver development and hardware synchronization required to ensure zero-latency, frame-perfect capture across all your sensors.
What if my application is slow or inefficient? How do you optimize for latency and system resources?
A “messy” application can quickly hit 100% CPU usage and crash. We optimize your pipeline using hardware acceleration—utilizing the GPU, the DLA (Deep Learning Accelerator), and specialized hardware encoders. We move the heavy lifting off the CPU to ensure your application runs cool, fast, and with minimal latency.
What happens if our hardware requirements or project scope changes mid-project?
Hardware development is iterative. If you decide to switch sensors or upgrade your Jetson module halfway through, we pivot with you. Our Agile Development approach means we work in short sprints, allowing us to adjust the technical roadmap without scrapping the entire project.
We’ve been trying to solve a technical issue for days (and NVIDIA support couldn't help). How can you move faster?
We thrive where documentation ends. Our team has “battle-tested” experience with the Jetson ecosystem; we’ve likely already solved the exact bug or driver conflict you’re currently stuck on. We don’t just guess; we use hardware debuggers and kernel-level analysis to fix issues that forums and standard support channels miss.
How do you handle remote management, video streaming latency, and device security?
If your device operates in the field, it needs to be secure and accessible. We implement Secure Boot and disk encryption to protect your IP. For remote operation, we build low-latency video pipelines (WebRTC/RTSP) and robust OTA (Over-The-Air) update systems so you can manage your fleet without ever needing to physically touch the devices.
How long does it take to see the first milestone? We need to move fast.
We focus on Rapid Prototyping. Depending on the complexity, we typically deliver a functional “Proof of Concept” or your first major milestone within 2 to 4 weeks. We believe in showing progress early and often so you can provide feedback before we move into deep production.
What if we already have an existing application or a project in progress?
We don’t need to start from scratch. We can take your existing Python scripts or “lab code” and refactor them into a production-grade C++ or optimized Python application. We specialize in Legacy Porting, ensuring your current AI models and logic work perfectly on the new Jetson hardware.
How do you charge for your services? Do you offer fixed pricing?
Our core model is Fixed-Bid Milestones. We believe you should pay for outcomes, not hours. This ensures your budget is 100% predictable and our goals are perfectly aligned. For early-stage R&D or long-term maintenance where the scope is still evolving, we can discuss hourly or retainer-based support—but for most projects, we provide a clear, fixed price for every phase of development.
