Our Embedded Software Engineering Services

From the kernel to the user interface, our engineers cover every software layer of your device, as a full project or as an extension of your in-house team.

Embedded Linux, Yocto & Buildroot

Custom Linux distributions, kernel configuration, U-Boot, root file systems, boot-time and footprint optimization for ARM, x86 and PowerPC platforms.

BSP & Device Driver Development

Board support packages and Linux kernel, Android HAL and RTOS drivers for new boards, with board bring-up, peripheral support and long-term kernel updates.

Embedded hardware development →

Middleware & Connectivity Stacks

Integration of BLE, Wi-Fi, Thread/Matter, MQTT, TCP/IP, CAN and Modbus stacks, plus cloud SDKs for AWS IoT and Azure IoT.

IoT engineering services →

Embedded Application & GUI Development

Touchscreen HMIs and device applications with Qt, LVGL and Android, designed for responsive performance on constrained hardware.

APIs, Cloud & Mobile Integration

Device-to-cloud APIs, companion mobile apps and web dashboards, so your embedded product works as part of a connected system.

Replatforming & Software Porting

Move legacy software to new processors, operating systems or containers: Linux, Android and Yocto migrations without losing proven functionality.

Embedded Software Testing & Automation

Unit, integration and on-target testing, hardware-in-the-loop, static analysis and CI pipelines for embedded builds, with tools such as VectorCAST, Klocwork and Parasoft.

Security & OTA Updates

Secure boot, signed and encrypted OTA updates, rollback protection, SBOM generation and vulnerability patching for devices in the field.

Audit, Performance Tuning & Debugging

Memory leak, crash and performance analysis; CPU, power and boot-time profiling; root-cause fixes across drivers, platform code and applications.

Embedded Software vs Firmware: Which Do You Need?

Most products need both. Here is how we split the work, so you can pick the right team for each layer.

Embedded software engineering

  • Application processors and SoCs (Linux, Android)
  • BSPs, kernel and device drivers
  • Middleware, connectivity and cloud integration
  • Applications, GUI and HMI
  • OTA updates, security and DevOps

Frequently Asked Questions about Embedded Software Engineering Services

What are embedded software engineering services?

Embedded software engineering services cover the design, development, testing and maintenance of the software that runs on a device: operating system and BSP, drivers, middleware, applications, user interface and update mechanisms.

Firmware usually means low-level code on microcontrollers, often bare-metal or RTOS-based. Embedded software is a broader term that also covers operating systems like embedded Linux, drivers, middleware and applications on more powerful processors.

Embedded Linux (Yocto, Buildroot), Android, FreeRTOS and Zephyr, on ARM Cortex-A and Cortex-M, x86 and PowerPC processors, including NXP i.MX and TI Sitara.

Yes. We replatform legacy software to new SoCs, Linux or Android versions and container-based setups, while keeping proven functionality and test coverage.

We combine unit and integration tests, on-target and hardware-in-the-loop testing, static analysis and continuous integration, with test reports for every release.

Yes. We write to MISRA C/C++ and CERT C rules when a project requires them, and support IEC 62304, ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 software processes.

Yes. We work with companies across the United States, with daily overlap in US working hours, a dedicated project manager and NDA-first engagement.

Yes. We handle kernel and security updates, bug fixes, OTA releases and new features for devices that are already deployed.
