Michigan · Automotive & Industrial Firmware Partner

Embedded Firmware Development Services in Michigan

Michigan put the world on wheels, and today those wheels run on software. From EV battery packs in metro Detroit to autonomous test vehicles in Ann Arbor and smart appliances built on the west side of the state, Michigan products depend on firmware that behaves the same way every time. Electrobit Tech helps Michigan engineering teams write that firmware.

Our engineers handle the embedded layer that controllers and modules need: CAN and LIN communication, bootloaders with fail-safe update paths, motor and power electronics control, sensor drivers, diagnostics and RTOS-based application code. We can own a full ECU firmware build or strengthen your in-house team on a tight program deadline.

We support Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers around Detroit, mobility startups in Ann Arbor, equipment makers in Grand Rapids and medical device companies in Kalamazoo. If you are looking for Embedded Firmware Development Services in Michigan that fit automotive-style timelines, let’s talk.

Industries

Firmware for Michigan’s Key Industries

Michigan’s manufacturing base is broad, and each region builds a different kind of product. Our firmware approach shifts with the reliability, safety and cost demands of your sector.

Detroit Metro – Automotive and Electric Vehicles

Detroit, Dearborn, Auburn Hills and Troy anchor the US auto industry and its shift to electrification. We write firmware for body and chassis modules, battery management systems, onboard chargers, DC-DC converters and EV charging equipment, following MISRA C coding rules on request.

Ann Arbor – Mobility, ADAS and Connected Vehicles

Ann Arbor’s university research and mobility test facilities attract startups working on autonomy and vehicle connectivity. We build sensor interface firmware, gateway modules, time-synchronised data logging and V2X and telematics connectivity for prototype and pilot fleets.

Grand Rapids and West Michigan – Furniture, Appliances and Industrial Equipment

West Michigan’s office furniture, appliance and equipment makers are adding sensors and connectivity to traditional products. We develop firmware for smart desks and seating controls, appliance control boards, BLE and Wi-Fi modules and industrial machine controllers.

Kalamazoo and Lansing – Medical Devices and Agricultural Technology

Kalamazoo has a strong medical device presence, while the Lansing area combines automotive work with agricultural research. We deliver documented, tested firmware for powered medical equipment and rugged firmware for farm sensors, implement controllers and ISOBUS-connected equipment.

We also serve companies in Flint, Novi, Livonia, Saginaw, Traverse City and across the Upper Peninsula.

Services

Firmware Services for Michigan Manufacturers

ECU and Controller Firmware

We write firmware for electronic control units and embedded controllers, covering startup, I/O handling, communication, diagnostics, fault handling and safe-state behaviour when something goes wrong.

Microcontroller and Processor Expertise

We work with automotive and industrial MCU families from NXP (S32K, MPC5xxx), Infineon AURIX, Renesas RH850 and RA, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Microchip, plus ARM application processors for gateways and displays.

Bring-Up, Bootloaders and In-Field Updates

We bring up new controller boards, write CAN and UART bootloaders, and build OTA update flows with rollback so a failed update never leaves a vehicle or machine unusable.

Process

How a Michigan Firmware Project Runs

Our process is built for programs with fixed gate dates. Each stage ends with a deliverable your team signs off.

01. Requirements review

We go through your specs, CAN databases, interface documents and test expectations, and log every requirement so nothing gets lost.

02. Software design

We document the software architecture, state machines, timing budgets, memory use and diagnostic behaviour for approval before development.

03. Implementation

We code in Embedded C and C++, build drivers and communication stacks, integrate RTOS or AUTOSAR-style layered software, and run static analysis as we go.

04. Testing and release

We test on bench setups and hardware-in-the-loop rigs, check CAN traffic and fault cases, then deliver release notes, test reports and full source code.

Capabilities

Firmware Capabilities

Vehicle Networks

CAN, CAN FD, LIN, J1939 and automotive Ethernet basics, with UDS and OBD diagnostic services.

Real-Time Operating Systems

FreeRTOS, Zephyr, SafeRTOS, ThreadX and VxWorks for time-critical control software.

Bare-Metal Control Firmware

Lean, interrupt-driven code for small actuator and sensor modules with tight cost targets.

Power Electronics and Motor Control

PWM, current loops and field-oriented control for BLDC and PMSM motors, chargers and converters, including TI C2000 real-time control MCUs.

Battery Management

Cell monitoring, balancing, state-of-charge estimation, thermal protection and contactor control for lithium-ion packs.

Coding Standards and Quality

MISRA C guidelines, static analysis, peer code reviews and traceability between requirements and tests.

Telematics and IoT

GPS, LTE-M, 4G, Wi-Fi and BLE with MQTT and secure cloud connections for fleet and equipment monitoring.

Firmware Security

Secure boot, signed firmware images and protected key storage on hardware security modules.

Testing and Debugging

Unit testing, HIL testing, CAN bus analysis and fault-injection testing for edge cases.

MCU Migration

When supply issues or end-of-life notices hit, we port proven firmware to a new MCU and help adjust the PCB to suit.
