    “We are developing the unique PLUS software for the control of production processes in manufacturing. In 2007, while porting the PLUS client from SmallTalk to C#, we transferred part of the work to SaM Solutions, and kept the existing COBOL backend in-house. We were pleased with the reliability and high quality of their work, and SaM Solutions quickly...”

Our Services

CUSTOM FIRMWARE DEVELOPMENT

We develop custom firmware and turn custom boards and device prototypes into production-quality devices running any OS and supporting the entire array of planned features. Whenever new hardware components are added to subsequent revisions, we update the firmware accordingly.

BOARD SUPPORT PACKAGE (BSP)

We support all popular CPUs/SoCs and build BSPs that meet the most non-standard clients’ requirements in terms of BSP package size, boot time, wake up time, performance or connectivity. All our BSP are thoroughly tested at many levels to ensure ultimate stability and responsiveness.

DEVICE DRIVER DEVELOPMENT

We are instrumental in developing system drivers for various hardware components of your products: sensors, actuators, servos, audio devices, keys and keyboards, network controllers, imaging and alternative input devices, to name just a few.

MIDDLEWARE DEVELOPMENT

We’ll help connect your device firmware to a mobile app, user-facing web apps or backend systems via secure, reliable, and fast middleware components working in the cloud or a client-designated environment: web servers, microservices, infrastructure libraries, or third-party components.

APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT (STB APPLICATIONS, SERVER MONITORING SOLUTIONS, VIRTUALIZATION SOLUTIONS)

We build feature-packed applications for the web, mobile devices, kiosks and STBs that enable users to effectively control devices and instantly exchange data with various hardware components for device control, monitoring or visualization purposes.

NETWORK CONNECTIVITY

We will help add full support of various wired and wireless communication types (Bluetooth/BLE, WiFi, 3G/LTE, LoRA based platform, Zigbee, SigFox, LTE-M, NB-IoT, and EC-GSM-IoT) to your devices and implement timely connection handover, error correction, and signal amplification when and where necessary.

CONSULTING

Let our embedded system architects and lead developers analyze your product specs and requirements to come up with a list of issues, a solid remediation plan, and a balanced, cost-effective feature implementation plan aligned with your timeline and budget.

AUDIT

Get professional conclusions regarding the quality of your embedded code, fulness of feature implementation, data security, and various other aspects covered by our comprehensive audit practices. Use it to make informed decisions regarding your current embedded service provider and further development plans.

TESTING SERVICES

Firmware and embedded systems run at the very heart of electronic devices, which is why their stable and error-free operation is incredibly important. Our QA and testing services will help you test your embedded code from various angles and make mission-critical enhancements before letting your embedded device go live.

MIGRATION OF LEGACY FIRMWARE TO NEW HARDWARE PLATFORMST

We will help port your existing firmware, including the loader piece and low-level algorithms, to a new hardware platform while fully preserving its functionality and preparing it for future updates (including OTA), thus reducing migration costs and duration.

OPTIMIZATION

Let our team take a deep dive into your high-level product specifications, your code, conduct thorough testing and performance profiling, identify performance bottlenecks and suggest optimization scenarios that will produce the maximum effect for the least investment possible.

INTEGRATION

No systems exist in full isolation — and embedded systems are no exception. Take advantage of our deep understanding of various embedded operating systems (including real-time operating systems and high-level operating systems), chipsets, protocols, and data exchange methods to reliably bridge gaps between devices and IoT systems.

POWER MANAGEMENT

Our team offers years of expertise implementing complex, adaptive power management scenarios for battery life extension and power consumption optimization. Our power management solutions help boost the duration of autonomous work while maintaining performance and other key parameters in line with target specifications.

FAQ

Can you update my existing firmware?

Yes, our team can help you upgrade your firmware.

What is your usual approach to firmware development?

Every client has a unique case, so we implement a customer-oriented approach towards development. Our team keeps in touch with the client throughout the entire development to track the process and keep it transparent.

Is it possible to create firmware without hardware?

No. It’s important to have the hardware at hand for stability and smooth performance out of the box.

What languages are used for firmware development?

Most frequently, C and C++ are implemented. Based on the characteristics of the platform and tasks, other languages can be used as well.

What tools do you use to develop firmware?

There is no specific set of tools used for every firmware project. The exact scope of instruments is chosen based on the individual characteristics of the project.
