Firmware

Bringing products to life with embedded logic and control

We develop firmware for embedded systems, microcontrollers, microprocessors, system on chips, and FPGAs. We also have experience writing software for Windows and Linux apps but this is more of a supplementary service to developing a physical product. We don’t usually do jobs that are pure software. Likewise, we do have experience with database management and cloud computing with AWS or Azure but this service is typically done as part of an IoT solution rather than a purely software solution.

Safety Critical Code

In 1997 Gerard Holzmann of NASA published the “Power of Ten: Rules for Developing Safety-Critical Code”. In it he argues that it is detrimental to have too many restrictions and rules when it comes to coding practices and that there are just ten rules that are necessary to ensuring high reliability.

Gerard’s ten rules were good enough for the NASA jet propulsion laboratory and are still used today. When it comes to safety critical code, we adopt the most reliable practices to ensure the mission is a success.

Modularity and Portability

Modular and portable firmware is more than a best practice. It’s an industry standard. Platforms from ARM and Texas Instruments are built around this principle, making it easier to move code between chips and scale products without starting from scratch.

We apply the same approach in our work. Separating logic from hardware, isolating features into clean modules, and designing for reuse helps us create code that’s easier to test, maintain, and extend—whether it’s for one product or an entire product line.

 

Low Power

Sleep mode allows devices to last longer on small batteries without losing speed or function.

Bootloaders

Bootloaders help devices start safely and accept updates without full reprogramming.

Firmware OTA

Wireless updates give products new features and fixes without needing to plug anything in.

Drivers

A driver lets a device connect to a computer so it can send and receive data.

Embedded Systems

We design embedded systems that bring real-world signals into code. From reading sensors to driving motors and managing timing, we build the low-level control that brings products to life.

Our work balances reliability, speed, and efficiency—tailored to the needs of each device. Whether it runs on a microcontroller, system on chip, or FPGA, our firmware is built to last, scale, and support future updates.

These systems power smart products in every field, from consumer tech to medical, industrial, and military. No matter the industry, we help make hardware smart, safe, and ready to ship.

RTOS

Real-time operating systems allow embedded devices to manage many tasks at once, each with tight timing needs. Whether it’s reading a sensor, sending data, or updating a screen, an RTOS keeps everything running on schedule.

We use RTOS platforms to bring structure and speed to complex projects. By managing tasks, priorities, and timing, we ensure each part of the system responds when it should—even under pressure.

From consumer wearables to industrial controls and medical devices, we build firmware that runs fast, stays predictable, and meets the demands of real-time performance.

Bare Metal

Bare metal programming means writing firmware without an operating system—just direct control of the hardware. This approach gives full access to timing, memory, and peripherals with no added layers.

We write bare metal code when speed, size, and control matter most. It’s ideal for simple devices, power-sensitive systems, or products that need precise timing with minimal overhead.

From startup code to peripheral drivers, we build firmware that is lean, reliable, and tightly tuned to the hardware—perfect for resource-limited or safety-critical designs.
