Firmware development services

We develop firmware for microcontrollers and systems-on-chip, including bare-metal and real-time operating system implementations. The work covers peripheral control, sensor inputs, communication, and application logic within the device’s memory and processing limits.

Our engineers adapt Android to custom hardware, connecting board-level functionality with the operating system and applications. This includes platform configuration and the drivers needed to make device components accessible.

We build and customize embedded Linux environments, including kernel configuration, peripheral support, and system integration. The aim is a software foundation suited to the board and its intended workload.

We read through your requirements, go through the existing code, and look at what the platform can and can’t handle. After that, we give you our findings and a plan for fixing the current firmware or building a new one.

For systems that run on a real-time OS, such as FreeRTOS or SafeRTOS, we write the tasks, the peripheral handling, and the application logic. We plan around your timing requirements first. Memory use and inter-task communication follow.

Some devices run without an operating system. We write code that works directly with the hardware, which suits devices that do one job and have very little memory to spare.

We write drivers for sensors, storage, displays, network controllers, and other peripherals, or adapt the ones you already have. Without them, the rest of the software can’t use the hardware.

We build applications for systems-on-chip and handle how processing, memory, and I/O work together. Your response deadlines and the hardware the chip actually offers decide how we design it.

We implement wired and wireless communication between components, devices, and outside systems. The protocol depends on range, data volume, power budget, and where the device will operate.

If you’re moving existing firmware to new hardware, we port it, rewrite the parts tied to the old platform, and check that the device still behaves the way it should. We can also prepare the product for future updates while we’re at it.

Our QA engineers test by hand and with automation, covering functionality, compatibility, reliability, and security. We first check individual components, then the complete device.

If the device starts slowly, wastes processing time, runs out of memory, or drains the battery too fast, we first measure to find the problem, then change the code. That keeps responsiveness, battery life, and resource use in balance.

Our company has more than 30 years of software engineering experience. Firmware projects draw on a wider organization with 800+ IT experts across disciplines.

Our delivered work includes Linux and Android BSP development for PHYTEC and firmware QA for Innominate’s industrial security appliances.

We can combine firmware, back-end, cloud, and mobile development within one project, reducing the number of separate software workstreams you need to coordinate.

Relationships with embedded technology providers, including Toradex and Marvell, complement our engineering capabilities.

Our development practices follow ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001 standards for quality management and information security.

Teams across the US and Europe support cooperation with startups, growing businesses, and established enterprises.
