Embedded
Systems

Reusable software platforms for firmware development, RTOS integration, device connectivity, and lifecycle management — built to reduce the ongoing cost of running embedded systems at scale.

Our Capabilities

Platforms that reduce embedded software costs

6 Core Service Areas

Firmware development, RTOS integration, device connectivity, BSP engineering, software validation, and managed embedded support.

Reliable Low-Level Software

Firmware Development

Firmware engineering for microcontrollers and SoCs — written to run reliably within the memory, power, and timing constraints of the target hardware.

  • Bare-Metal & RTOS Firmware
    Application and driver-layer firmware for bare-metal and RTOS-based targets across ARM, RISC-V, and other architectures
  • Peripheral & Driver Development
    Low-level drivers for GPIO, SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB, and custom hardware interfaces
  • Power & Resource Optimisation
    Code and configuration tuned for battery life, memory footprint, and deterministic execution

Real-Time Operating Systems

RTOS Integration

Integration and configuration of real-time operating systems for applications where timing, scheduling, and determinism are critical.

  • RTOS Selection & Porting
    Platform assessment and RTOS porting across FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX, and other kernels
  • Task & Scheduler Design
    Task architecture, priority assignment, and scheduling strategies for deterministic, jitter-free operation
  • Inter-Process Communication
    Queues, semaphores, and message passing patterns that keep concurrent tasks safe and predictable

Protocols and Cloud Interfaces

Device Connectivity

Software that connects embedded devices to networks, cloud platforms, and other systems — securely and with minimal resource overhead.

  • Communication Protocol Stacks
    Implementation of MQTT, CoAP, Modbus, CANopen, BLE, and other protocol stacks for constrained devices
  • Cloud & Edge Integration
    Device-side SDKs and agents for AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, and on-premise edge platforms
  • Secure Provisioning & OTA
    Device onboarding, certificate management, and over-the-air update pipelines with rollback support

Hardware Bring-Up and Porting

BSP Engineering

Board support package development that brings new hardware to a working software state and makes it available to the application layer.

  • Board Bring-Up
    Initial hardware validation, clock configuration, and memory map setup for new PCB revisions and SoC platforms
  • Bootloader Development
    Custom bootloaders with secure boot, hardware initialisation, and update support
  • Linux BSP & Kernel Porting
    Embedded Linux bring-up, device tree configuration, and kernel driver development for application-class processors

Testing for Constrained Environments

Software Validation

Test tooling and processes designed for the constraints of embedded targets — covering unit, integration, and hardware-in-the-loop validation.

  • Unit & Integration Testing
    Host and target-side test frameworks for firmware modules, drivers, and application logic
  • Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL)
    Automated test rigs that exercise firmware against real or simulated hardware interfaces
  • Static Analysis & Coverage
    MISRA compliance checks, static analysis, and coverage metrics for safety-relevant codebases

Ongoing Maintenance and Updates

Managed Embedded Support

Continued software support for embedded platforms in production — keeping firmware current, secure, and stable across the device lifecycle.

  • Defect Resolution & Patching
    Triage and resolution of field defects with managed patch releases and version tracking
  • Dependency & Toolchain Management
    Scheduled updates to third-party components, SDKs, and build toolchains to prevent end-of-life exposure
  • Long-Term Device Lifecycle Support
    Maintenance programmes sized to the product lifecycle, including extended support for devices with multi-year field deployments

Our Approach

Embedded software built to last in the field, not just ship

We build the software that keeps embedded systems running reliably over their full lifecycle — firmware, connectivity, and validation that hold up in production, not just in the lab.

  • 01
    Software written for the hardware constraints
    Firmware is engineered within the memory, power, and timing limits of the target device — not adapted from general-purpose code.
  • 02
    Connectivity designed for the field
    Protocol stacks and OTA pipelines are built with rollback and recovery in mind, so updates don't strand devices in production.
  • 03
    Validation against real hardware
    Testing goes beyond simulation — HIL rigs and target-side frameworks catch issues that only surface on actual silicon.
  • 04
    Support matched to the product lifecycle
    Maintenance programmes are scoped to how long devices stay in the field, not just the initial release window.
