Embedded Systems & Firmware

Linux and RTOS firmware for custom hardware platforms, from board bring-up and driver development through OTA update systems and production-ready software delivery.

Firmware on custom hardware means owning both the software and the silicon under it. We have brought up embedded Linux on custom ARM boards, written drivers for peripherals with datasheets that turned out to be optimistic, and built RTOS systems that meet hard timing deadlines.

We work every layer, from u-boot and kernel configuration through application services and remote updates. The OTA system we shipped for a streaming platform stages its rollouts and rolls back automatically, so a bad update in the field recovers itself instead of generating support calls. And because our firmware engineers sit next to our hardware engineers, "is it the board or the code" gets answered in an afternoon.

You get documented, maintainable source code and a build system your team can own after handoff.

Deliverables

  • Embedded Linux platform configuration (Yocto, Buildroot, Debian)
  • Bootloader and kernel bring-up
  • Custom device driver development
  • HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) design
  • RTOS firmware (FreeRTOS, Zephyr)
  • Application-layer services and daemons
  • OTA firmware update system
  • Build system and CI/CD setup
  • Source code, documentation, and handoff package

When to Call

  • You have hardware but no embedded software team
  • A connected product needs embedded Linux on a custom SBC or SoM
  • Real-time control firmware with actual deadlines
  • Devices in the field need updates you can trust
  • Board bring-up has stalled and the schedule has not
