Custom embedded software from bare-metal HAL drivers to full RTOS applications — optimised for reliability, low power and long-term maintainability across any microcontroller platform.
Full-spectrum embedded software capabilities for any microcontroller or application domain
Direct register-level and HAL programming for deterministic, ultra-low-latency applications where RTOS overhead is not acceptable — ISR routines, bootloaders, power-critical code.
Multi-tasking embedded applications using FreeRTOS, Zephyr or Azure RTOS — task scheduling, queues, semaphores, event groups, mutexes and memory management.
Custom peripheral and sensor drivers for I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB and more — portable, well-documented and tested against hardware with scope-level verification.
End-to-end wireless firmware — WiFi provisioning, BLE pairing, LoRaWAN stacks, MQTT/TLS cloud connection and certificate-based device authentication.
Aggressive power profiling and sleep-mode architecture for battery-powered devices — achieving sub-µA standby currents with fast wake-up and full functionality.
Secure dual-bank OTA firmware update systems with rollback protection, signature verification, delta updates and remote device management integration.
Our firmware development capabilities and standards
A structured, milestone-driven workflow from requirements to production-ready firmware
We analyse your hardware platform, functional requirements and timing constraints to define the firmware architecture — task decomposition, memory map, boot sequence and peripheral assignments — before writing a single line of code.
Board Support Package (BSP) and Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) bring-up — clock configuration, peripheral initialisation, GPIO mapping and low-level driver validation against the schematic using oscilloscope and logic analyser.
Custom peripheral drivers, sensor libraries, communication stacks and application middleware — written to MISRA-C guidelines, reviewed with static analysis and unit-tested with mocked hardware interfaces.
Task implementation, inter-task communication, event-driven state machines and real-time scheduling configuration — profiled for CPU load, stack usage and worst-case execution time (WCET).
Functional testing on target hardware, edge-case stress testing, long-run soak tests, watchdog recovery validation and power consumption measurement. Regression suite run on every commit via CI/CD pipeline.
Production-ready binary with release notes, Doxygen API documentation, porting guide, flashing instructions, test reports and full source code with Git history — everything needed for ongoing maintenance.
