Overview
Embedded software lives under tight constraints: limited memory, hard real-time deadlines, and field conditions where nobody is around to press reset. We engineer firmware that respects those constraints, from bare-metal bring-up on a new board to RTOS applications with bounded timing. It is written in modern C and C++, tested on the host as well as the hardware, and structured so it can be maintained long after it ships.
What We Cover
Where Custom Embedded Firmware engagements add the most value.
Bare-Metal & RTOS
From register-level bring-up on new silicon to structured applications on FreeRTOS, Zephyr, and other real-time kernels.
Deterministic & Real-Time
Bounded latency and predictable scheduling, with timing budgets we measure rather than guess at.
Drivers & Peripherals
Drivers for I²C, SPI, UART, USB, ADC/DAC, and custom peripherals, behind clean hardware abstraction layers.
Safety & Reliability
Watchdogs, fault handling, and defensive design for products that must keep running unattended in the field.
Power-Aware Design
Low-power modes, peripheral gating, and wake strategies tuned for battery-powered and energy-constrained devices.
Testable & Observable
Host-side unit tests, hardware-in-the-loop validation, and logging hooks so issues are caught before they ship.
How We Work
A clear, milestone-driven engagement from first call to hand-off.
Discovery
We review the hardware, datasheets, and requirements, then define timing, memory, and safety targets up front.
Bring-Up
Board bring-up, toolchain setup, and a minimal firmware base that proves the critical peripherals work.
Build
Feature development against the agreed budgets, with unit and hardware-in-the-loop tests at each step.
Validate & Hand Off
Timing and reliability validation on real hardware, documented and packaged for production and future maintenance.
