Software for Hardware Teams

From early bring-up to final release — we deliver firmware, drivers, and system software for silicon and board makers across every stage of the hardware lifecycle.

System Software Gaps That Slow You Down

Early Bring-Up

Specs are incomplete. Hardware behavior isn’t stable. SDKs lag behind chip revisions. We work with engineering samples, partial boards, and simulator-based workflows to move forward before production silicon is ready.

Toolchain Fragmentation

Toolchains, BSPs, and debuggers vary wildly across vendors and internal teams. We help port, align, and maintain low-level tooling across platforms and architectures — including RISC-V and custom SoCs.

Cross-Layer Debugging

Unexpected behavior during boot or under load often stems from firmware, kernel, or silicon-level interactions. We trace issues across physical boards, simulators, and hybrid setups, from bootloaders to user space.

Firmware Porting

Supporting multiple boards or generations often means rewriting for new chipsets, instruction sets, or interface protocols. We handle the heavy lifting of porting and tuning code to meet hardware constraints.

Simulation Gaps

Early-stage validation often depends on a patchwork of models and emulators. We build simulation models, virtual platforms, and co-validation setups to shift testing left — and catch integration failures earlier.

What We do

Firmware & BSP

Development of board support packages, firmware, and bootloaders for new silicon and embedded platforms. We support bring-up on engineering samples, evolving specs, and hybrid environments, enabling early system-level integration for CPUs, GPUs, SoCs, and telecom boards.

SDK & Tooling

Design and engineering of complete SDKs and developer support stacks, including sample applications, diagnostics, CLI tools, debugging hooks, and documentation. We help hardware vendors build strong software ecosystems and reduce integration time for their customers.

Hardware Integration

Implementation of hardware abstraction layers (HALs), interface drivers, IPMI, and control protocols (e.g. SPI, I2C, UART). We ensure tight alignment between your silicon and the system-level software — from initial prototyping to stable production builds.

Simulation Modeling

Creation of device models and virtual boards to support software development before hardware is finalized. We build QEMU or Simics-based, hybrid, or custom simulators for early development, automated validation, and vendor onboarding.

Application Software

Development of custom applications for device control, configuration, diagnostics, and visualization — often deployed directly on embedded Linux or RTOS systems. Includes GUI and CLI-based tools for engineering or end-user interaction with hardware.

Test Automation

Setup of CI pipelines, automated test frameworks, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups for system-level testing of firmware, drivers, and OS integration. We support custom board farms, legacy cases, and multi-version regression testing.

Sustaining Engineering

Sustaining engineering for legacy boards and evolving hardware families. We manage codebase compatibility, toolchain upgrades, OS migration, and patching strategies for long-lifecycle platforms.

Performance Optimization

Tuning of system-level performance including memory usage, CPU load balancing, power efficiency, and boot time. We provide profiling, instrumentation, and architecture-specific recommendations for embedded and high-performance workloads.

The Right Fit for Hardware-Centric Software

Hardware-Software Co-Design

We design and deliver complete system layers — from BSPs and firmware to drivers and platform services — with deep understanding of both silicon and software constraints.

Simulation-First Approach

We build simulators and hybrid emulation environments to enable early development, reduce hardware dependency, and accelerate time to integration.

Lean High-Impact Teams

We deploy compact, senior-level teams that ramp up fast, adapt to evolving specs, and deliver results even when documentation is incomplete or missing.

Client Ecosystem Support

We extend our work beyond the platform by tailoring and maintaining software used by your clients — helping you serve new markets without expanding your internal team.

Regulated Industry Expertise

We bring experience from medtech, telecom, and industrial projects where compliance, stability, and traceability are critical from day one.

Got Questions?

Our hardware is still under revision. Can you start without final specs?

Yes. We’re used to working with partial documentation, early silicon, and evolving baselines. We often start development using simulators, engineering samples, or remote access to lab setups — and adjust as the hardware matures.

We’ve had issues with generic code. How are you different?

We don’t work from templates. Everything we build is tailored to the platform, toolchain, and real-world use cases. Our senior engineers work directly with your architecture and test teams to ensure alignment and maintainability.

Our toolchain is non-standard. Will you work with it?

We adapt. Whether you’re using a vendor-specific SDK, an in-house GCC fork, or a mixed toolchain setup, we integrate with what’s already in place. We focus on compatibility, not disruption.

We lack full documentation. Can you still help?

Yes. We’ve successfully delivered projects with incomplete or evolving specs. We rely on system analysis, hands-on testing, and close coordination with your team to move development forward with confidence.

What if a customer finds a bug in software you built?

We’re available under a post-delivery support agreement (SLA or equivalent) to investigate, patch, and document fixes. Support scope and response times are defined in the master service agreement, ensuring issues are handled promptly without ad-hoc costs.

Old firmware was built by someone else. Can you handle it?

Absolutely. We’ve dealt with undocumented codebases, outdated stacks, and low-level code from over a decade ago. We can refactor, port, or modernize it safely.

How do you keep things working across silicon updates?

We use modular architecture, abstraction layers, and regression testing to maintain forward and backward compatibility. It’s part of how we support evolving platforms.

Can you update only parts of the stack, like adding new peripherals?

Yes. We design for modularity. Whether it’s adding a sensor driver or updating config tools, we isolate changes to avoid disrupting the rest of the system.

Can you support both our internal team and external SDK users?

Yes. We often bridge both — building internal tools and docs while adapting SDKs and onboarding material for partner ecosystems.

How fast can you ramp up on new or undocumented hardware?

We follow a structured ramp-up process that includes onboarding workshops, knowledge sharing with your internal teams, and direct access to product owners. Even with limited documentation, we build context quickly and move forward with minimal disruption.
