We help you get embedded software right from the start. We pick the device and environment your requirements call for, explain the trade-offs between bare metal, a lightweight RTOS and full embedded Linux, and get you past the roadblocks that can stall a team for weeks.
From requirements to the field, we’re with you at every stage. The decision that matters most comes first: the implementation architecture. We find the bottlenecks before they find you.
Then we build every layer, from the low-level drivers that talk to your hardware up to the apps and APIs your users see.
We match the device and operating environment to your requirements, and walk you through the trade-offs between bare metal, a lightweight RTOS like FreeRTOS or Zephyr, and full embedded Linux.
Enough memory bandwidth? The right high-speed interfaces to get data on and off the device? Enough pins for every SPI, I2C and GPIO? We answer those before you commit.
When we build new hardware in the FPGA, we write the drivers and inter-chip interfaces that let your software talk to it. It's often the hardest part of the architecture, and it's where we're strongest.
Moving data at high speed means designing how it's passed and buffered between hardware and software, for throughput and for resilience when things go wrong.
Getting Linux to boot is the easy part. These are the problems that stall teams, and the ones we solve:
Reliable updates for devices that are already deployed, without a site visit.
Board support packages and device trees for custom hardware, including the FPGA peripherals we design.
Security that keeps up over the product's whole life, not just on the day it ships.
Isolated, reproducible builds, so a dependency or toolchain update never surprises you.
We've shipped the whole stack ourselves. Our open-source AmpliPro audio system runs a self-hosted web app and REST API on embedded Linux, with our own firmware underneath.
