Engineering services
Imaging & BIOS Configuration
Lock down BIOS parameters and pre-load golden software images for exact batch consistency.
Talk to an engineerKey Deliverables
Custom Boot Splash Screen
Replacing the default manufacturer boot logo with your corporate identity for a cohesive brand experience.
BIOS Lock-down & Presets
Hardcoding Watchdog Timer (WDT) settings, AC power loss resume states, and enabling/disabling specific hardware ports via BIOS.
Golden Image Mass Cloning
Automated factory flashing of a client-provided "golden image" encompassing the OS, drivers, and application layer.
Imaging Execution Flow
Bare-Metal Validation (Day 1)
Shipping a standard, un-imaged hardware unit for the client to configure natively in their own environment.
Golden Image Capture (Day 3-7)
Client provides a packaged golden SSD image and a checklist of requisite BIOS modifications.
First Article Approval (Day 10)
We flash a First Article Inspection (FAI) unit and provide remote or physical access for client sign-off on system integrity and boot behavior.
Mass Production Rollout
Upon approval, the image and BIOS profile are bound to a specific bill of materials (BOM), ensuring identical deployment across all subsequent shipments.
Typical Scenarios
National Digital Signage Network
Supplying 200 playback terminals across different cities, pre-loaded with custom Linux and remote management agents. On-site staff only need to connect power and network.
Medical Imaging Trolleys
Locking out unauthorized USB read/write access at the BIOS level for HIPAA compliance while pre-installing activated, licensed visualization software.
Who is this service for?
- Large-scale rollouts spanning multiple locations where on-site technicians lack system parameter debugging skills.
- Deployments with strict power policies like "Power-on after power loss" or "Secure boot" requirements.
- Integrators needing systems to arrive pre-loaded with proprietary, closed-source software and activated licenses.
Constraints & Conditions
- Basic BIOS configuration and splash screen replacement do not have a hard MOQ and can be implemented for small batches.
- Due to licensing liabilities, unless valid volumetric product keys (e.g., Windows IoT) are provided, we will only deploy evaluation OS images.
- Clients must assist in verifying driver wrapper logic if an image spans across slightly varying hardware sub-revisions (e.g., varying NIC chipsets).
Common questions
What image formats do you accept?
We support standard formats such as Clonezilla archives, raw dd disk dumps, or WIM files prepared via Windows PE.
How is image versioning handled when we release software updates?
Simply submit the updated image and we will generate a new internal revision code. The factory floor immediately pivots to the new image for the next production batch.
