Embedded Systems & IoT Firmware Development Β· Built in C++

Your Hardware Is Ready.
Now It Needs a Brain.

We write the C++ firmware that makes your physical product actually work β€” reliably, fast, and production-ready. From IoT smart devices to industrial automation to medical equipment. If it has a chip inside, we can program it.

Why Hardware Companies Get Stuck

You Built the Hardware. But Nobody on Your Team Can Write the Firmware.

A hardware startup spends months and lakhs designing the perfect circuit board. The electronics are ready. The prototype looks great. And then reality hits β€” writing the software that runs inside that chip is a completely different skill. Your electronics engineer cannot do it. Your web or app developer cannot do it. Firmware is a specialty. It requires deep C++ knowledge, understanding of chips at the register level, experience with real-time operating systems, and the discipline to write code that cannot crash β€” ever β€” because there is no refresh button on a factory machine or a medical device. That is exactly what we do.

Hardware Startups

Your Product is 90% Done and Completely Stuck

You have the hardware and the launch date. But you cannot find a firmware developer who understands your domain and stays. Every month of delay burns runway and tests investors' patience.

IoT Companies

Your Device Connects to Everything Except Reliably

In the lab it works. In the real world it drops connections, sends wrong data, drains batteries in days instead of years. The problem is not hardware β€” it is firmware written fast, not written right.

Manufacturing

Your Machines Run. Your Software Does Not.

The control software is twenty years old, the vendor no longer supports it, and your engineers cannot modify it. You need a firmware partner who owns this problem with you long-term.

Medical Devices

You Cannot Ship Until the Software is Certified

Medical devices require software that is documented, tested, traceable, and compliant with IEC 62304 and FDA standards. You need someone who writes medical-grade firmware from day one.

Our Work

We Write the Software That Lives Inside Your Physical Product.

Firmware is not an app or a website. It is code that runs directly on a chip β€” often with no OS, no screen, no second chances. When it works perfectly, nobody notices. When it fails, everything fails. We have written firmware for chips that run 24/7 in environments from minus 20Β°C in cold storage to plus 85Β°C on a factory floor.

Our Technology and Process

How We Turn Your Hardware Into a Working Product

Every project starts from a deep understanding of your hardware, use case, and constraints β€” power, memory, processing, connectivity, and safety. C++ is our primary language. For safety-critical we follow MISRA C++. For automotive we apply AUTOSAR.

Chips and Platforms

  • ESP32 / ESP8266 β†’ WiFi and Bluetooth IoT
  • STM32 β†’ Industrial and medical grade
  • ARM Cortex β†’ High performance embedded
  • Raspberry Pi β†’ Linux-based edge
  • Arduino β†’ Prototyping and low complexity
  • NXP i.MX β†’ Automotive and industrial Linux
  • TI MSP β†’ Ultra low power battery
  • Nordic nRF β†’ BLE wearables

Protocols and OS

  • WiFi, Ethernet, BLE, LoRa, CAN, MODBUS, RS485, MQTT, I2C, SPI, UART
  • FreeRTOS, Zephyr RTOS, Bare Metal, Embedded Linux

Our Development Process

  • Week 1–2: Hardware and requirements study. We ask what happens when power cuts, when two sensors fail, when the network is unavailable for days.
  • Week 2–3: Firmware architecture design. Task structure, memory layout, error handling. You approve before code.
  • Week 3–7: Development and continuous testing. Unit tests, hardware-in-the-loop. Working demos every week.
  • Week 7–8: Stress testing. 72-hour runs, power cycling, dropouts, memory leak analysis.
  • Week 9: Deployment, documentation, handover. Source code, test reports, three months post-delivery support.

The Business Case

What Investing in Proper Firmware Actually Returns

  • 1

    Ship Faster

    Most hardware startups lose 3–6 months hiring a firmware engineer or working with a freelancer who underdelivers. A specialist firm from day one gets you to market faster.

  • 2

    Avoid the Costly Rewrite

    Firmware written badly gets rewritten. We have seen companies spend β‚Ή40 lakh on a rewrite that could have been avoided with β‚Ή12 lakh spent correctly the first time.

  • 3

    Reduce Field Failures

    A single product recall can cost more than the entire development budget. Properly tested and hardened firmware dramatically reduces field failure and support costs.

  • 4

    Your Team Stays Focused

    Your electronics engineers design hardware. Your product manager talks to customers. When firmware is handled by specialists, your core team does what they do best.
