Texas · Firmware Engineering Partner

Embedded Firmware Development Services in Texas

Texas builds a large share of America’s connected hardware, from chips designed in Austin to oilfield sensors deployed across the Permian Basin. Electrobit Tech gives Texas product teams a dedicated firmware engineering partner that takes a device from requirements to production-ready code.

Our engineers write the firmware that makes your hardware work: bootloaders, board support packages, device drivers, RTOS and bare-metal applications, wireless connectivity and over-the-air updates. We join your project at whatever stage you need, whether that is a first prototype, a stalled bring-up or a legacy product moving to a new microcontroller.

We work with startups in Austin, OEMs in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, energy technology companies in Houston and defense and automotive suppliers around San Antonio. If you need reliable Embedded Firmware Development Services in Texas without the cost and delay of hiring a full in-house team, talk to us.

Industries

Firmware for Texas Industries

Each Texas metro has its own hardware focus, and the firmware behind it has different priorities. We tailor our approach to the industry you build for.

Austin – Semiconductors and Consumer Tech

Austin’s “Silicon Hills” is home to chip designers, hardware startups and consumer electronics brands. We support silicon bring-up, BSP development, power-optimised firmware for wearables and battery devices, and BLE and Wi-Fi connectivity for smart products.

Dallas–Fort Worth – Telecom, Aerospace and Industrial

The DFW area has deep roots in telecom, aerospace and electronics manufacturing. We develop embedded Linux and Yocto builds, communication stacks, DSP firmware and production test firmware for networking, avionics support and industrial equipment.

Houston – Energy, Oil & Gas and Medical Devices

Houston’s energy sector depends on rugged field devices, while the Texas Medical Center drives demand for dependable medical electronics. We build remote monitoring firmware, LoRaWAN and 4G telemetry for pipelines and well sites, Modbus and industrial protocol integration, and well-documented, tested firmware for medical device projects.

San Antonio – Defense, Automotive and Cybersecurity

San Antonio’s defense, automotive and cybersecurity base needs firmware that is secure and predictable. We deliver real-time RTOS firmware, secure bootloaders, encrypted OTA updates and CAN-based firmware for vehicle and equipment controllers.

We also support teams across the rest of Texas, including El Paso, Corpus Christi, Round Rock, Plano and the Rio Grande Valley.

Services

Our Embedded Firmware Services for Texas Companies

Custom Firmware Development

We write low-level and application firmware for new and existing products. That includes firmware for ROM, OTP/PROM and PLA-based designs, firmware subsystems and the code that ties sensors, displays, motors and radios into one working device.

Processor and Platform Integration

We integrate firmware across the major silicon platforms, including ARM, Texas Instruments, NXP, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Intel, Altera, Marvell and Freescale. Your team gets one partner that already knows the toolchains, SDKs and quirks of the chip you chose.

Board Bring-Up and Low-Level Programming

When new boards arrive, we handle chip bring-up, memory configuration, power-on and built-in self-tests (POST/BIST), bootloaders and device drivers. A solid BSP layer early on saves weeks of debugging later in the program.

Process

How We Deliver Firmware Projects

Every project follows four clear stages, with a review checkpoint at the end of each one.

01. Requirements and scoping

We review your product requirements, clarify open questions with your engineers and lock the hardware specification before coding starts.

02. Architecture design

We document interfaces and communication flows, business logic, memory layout and expected battery life, so your team can approve the plan in writing.

03. Development

We write firmware in Embedded C, C++ and Python, build drivers and interfaces, port operating systems (RTOS, Yocto Linux, Mbed OS, Android), and add OTA updates and wireless connectivity (BLE, Wi-Fi, 4G, Zigbee, Z-Wave, LoRaWAN).

04. Validation and handover

We test board bring-up, interfaces, BSPs and third-party API integrations, then deliver user manuals, test set-up guides and feature specifications.

Capabilities

Firmware Capabilities

Real-Time Operating Systems

For devices with strict timing needs, we build on FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX, RTEMS, NuttX, LiteOS, VxWorks and AWS RTOS.

Bare-Metal Firmware

When an operating system adds unnecessary overhead, we write bare-metal firmware. It gives you full control of hardware resources, lower power use and a smaller memory footprint.

ARM Cortex-M and Cortex-R

We develop for Cortex-M0/M0+, M4, M7 and Cortex-R cores, and help you choose the right part for performance, power, memory and cost.

AVR, PIC and MSP430

We maintain and extend firmware on 8- and 16-bit families. Where a product is outgrowing its MCU, we advise on a scalable platform that simplifies future upgrades.

DSP Firmware

We write real-time signal processing firmware for TI C5000/C6000, Microchip dsPIC and Analog Devices processors, including Blackfin and SHARC.

Hardware Abstraction Layers

We use vendor HALs or build custom ones so your firmware stays portable across boards and chip revisions.

Robotics and ROS

For automation and robotics projects, we use the Robot Operating System (ROS) to control motors, sensors and low-level hardware.

IoT Protocols and Wireless

We implement MQTT, CoAP and DTLS, and integrate Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Classic, BLE, UWB, Zigbee, Z-Wave and ISM-band radios.

Testing and Debugging

We test every module through manual and automated methods across normal and edge-case conditions before release.

Legacy Firmware Migration

If a part goes end-of-life or costs climb, we move your firmware to a new MCU while keeping existing features intact, and can adapt the PCB layout to match.
