Mulga Partner Program

SHIP EDGE PRODUCTS FASTER WITHOUT BESPOKE LINUX INTEGRATION

Built for vendors who care about velocity: hardware makers, module suppliers, OEMs, ISVs, and edge software and AI teams shipping into real customer environments.

Choose Your Path

Hardware Vendors

Turn compute into an edge-ready platform customers can deploy.

Ship devices with Mulga pre-installed (or factory-provisioned) so customers can deploy edge workloads consistently—without your team doing one-off Linux work for every project.

You get:

  • Differentiation: "edge-ready" out of the box, not "here's a dev kit"
  • Faster customer deployments and shorter sales cycles
  • Lower integration/support burden across deployments
  • A repeatable provisioning and update workflow

Typical partners: compute module vendors, OEMs, industrial device makers, systems integrators

Apply as Hardware Vendor

Software / AI Vendors

Deploy your app and AI to edge hardware without bespoke Linux integrations.

Use Mulga as the deployment target so your app runs across supported edge devices with far less custom integration and fewer "it works on our lab box" surprises.

You get:

  • Faster time-to-deploy on new hardware
  • Reduced porting effort and fewer device-specific edge cases
  • A consistent deployment and update path to customer sites
  • Less time in Linux weeds; more time shipping product

Typical partners: ISVs, AI/ML inference apps, industrial software, observability/security tooling, edge platform software

Apply as Software Vendor

What You Ship with Mulga

A real, customer-ready integration—not a vague partnership.

The Partner Program is designed to move from "interested" to "shipping" with clear milestones, owners, and a tight cadence.

Target outcome: a shipping-ready integration in 30–60 days depending on scope.

How It Works

Built for speed

1

Kickoff

Within 5 business days

  • • Confirm track, scope, and success criteria
  • • Assign technical owners on both sides
  • • Lock the sprint plan
2

Technical Validation

2 weeks

  • • Validate provisioning/deployment path
  • • Confirm requirements and constraints
  • • Prove the end-to-end workflow on target hardware
3

Integration Build

2–4 weeks

  • • Implement the integration
  • • Validate updates, logging, and reliability
  • • Produce repeatable install/deploy steps
4

Shipping Readiness

2–4 weeks

  • • Finalize factory/provisioning or deployment artifacts
  • • Run the readiness checklist
  • • Confirm "Mulga Ready" release

Weekly cadence. Clear owners. No shelfware.

Anti-Stall by Design

Partnerships die in limbo. The program includes simple mechanisms to keep momentum:

Weekly 30-minute check-in during active work

14-day inactivity reset: re-scope, re-staff, pause (max 30 days), or exit cleanly

A single shared tracker so nothing gets lost

What We Need from You

To move fast

Hardware Vendors Typically Provide:

  • • A dev unit or image
  • • Device docs
  • • Provisioning constraints
  • • A technical owner

Software Vendors Typically Provide:

  • • App artifact/runtime requirements
  • • Deployment needs
  • • Logs/diagnostics access
  • • A technical owner
