Firmware development
Embedded firmware for MCUs and MPUs: bare-metal, bootloader, UEFI, Secure Boot, FreeRTOS, Eclipse ThreadX, Safe RTOS, Zephyr, Embedded Linux and Yocto, device drivers, from prototype & bring-up to production & maintanance.
Embedded engineering services
We work with manufacturers of connected devices - from start-ups building a first product to companies maintaining fleets that have been in the field for years. Firmware, hardware and security engineers work in one team, so decisions are made with the whole device in mind.
Build, secure, add AI, evolve
Pick the area you need today. Most projects combine two or three of them.
Build
Firmware, electronics, connectivity and automation for new products.
IoT & connectivity
Connected device engineering: wireless and wired protocols, secure OTA (including A/B partition rollback firmware) updates and application or cloud integration for IoT products.
Industrial automation & PLC
PLC programming, fieldbus and industrial protocol drivers, gateways and integration for industrial and energy systems.
Hardware & PCB design
Schematic and PCB layout, board bring-up, DFM and prototype support for embedded devices, designed together with the firmware team.
Secure & Comply
Security engineering, Cyber Resilience Act readiness and standards compliance.
Cybersecurity & CRA
Secure boot, secure OTA, SBOM & vulnerability handling for connected devices. We provide comprehensive CRA compliance auditing services. We also provide device & system penetration testing services.
Standards compliance
Medical: IEC 62304, 60601, 62366, 82304, ISO 13485, 14971. Cyber & CRA: EN 18031, IEC 62443. Maritime: IACS UR E26/E27.
Embedded AI
Machine learning on the device: model size, functions and data, learning approach and target hardware.
Embedded AI
On-device machine learning and AI distilling for microcontrollers and edge processors: sensor data, audio and vision models optimized for memory and power.
Evolve
Modernising products that are already in the field.
Legacy modernization
End of live? No problem! MCU migration, RTOS migration, code refactoring, obsolescence redesign and security retrofits for devices already in the field.
Maintenance
Long-term firmware maintenance, security updates, dependency monitoring and technical support for embedded products.
One team from PoC to production
Every engagement starts with a short discovery and a proof of concept. From there we move to prototypes, series production and long-term maintenance. The process, engagement models and how we handle IP are described in How we work.
Business applications, cloud platforms and data pipelines are delivered by our sister team at BCF Cloud & Data.
