The case for boring bootloaders.
Most OTA failures come from the bootloader doing too much. Here's what we ship instead, and why it's deliberately dull.
Firmware, hardware and IoT for teams who need their prototype to become a product — and their product to stay alive in the field. One team, from first schematic to last unit shipped.
Bare-metal, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX. Drivers, HAL, bootloaders, OTA pipelines.
Schematic capture, multi-layer layout, BOM optimization, DFM, bring-up support.
BLE 5, Wi-Fi, LTE-M/NB-IoT, LoRa. MQTT/CoAP, cloud dashboards, fleet management.
Hard real-time, safety-critical, deterministic schedulers. We live in the microseconds.
Secure boot, A/B slots, fault-tolerant OTA, board support packages for Linux & RTOS.
Peripheral, sensor and display drivers for Linux, RTOS and bare-metal targets.
Industrial design, enclosures, mechanical integration, material & finish selection.
Fast-turn proofs-of-concept, dev kits, field-ready demos. From sketch to solder in weeks.
HIL rigs, automated regression, pre-compliance for FCC/CE, long-term reliability testing.
Requirements, BOM targets, risk map, project charter. We say no to what doesn't fit.
Schematic, firmware architecture, interfaces, test plan. Reviewable artifacts every week.
Bring-up, iteration, DVT boards, firmware milestones. Weekly demos, no black boxes.
Validation, pre-compliance, documentation, handoff. We stay on-call after launch.
Wearables, diagnostics, therapy devices. IEC 62304-aware firmware.
Soil sensors, tractor telemetry, irrigation controllers. Solar + LTE at scale.
Factory telemetry, predictive maintenance, edge gateways, SCADA integration.
Smart-home, audio, fitness. From CES demo to 100k-unit run.
Smart meters, solar inverters, grid monitoring. Safety-cert-ready code.
Motor control, sensor fusion, real-time comms. From AGVs to surgical arms.
Continuous biosensor monitoring with a month of battery and CE marking in seven months from kickoff.
LTE-M + BLE bridge nodes deployed across three states. Solar-powered, field-replaceable, survives monsoon.
Most OTA failures come from the bootloader doing too much. Here's what we ship instead, and why it's deliberately dull.
STM32, ESP32, nRF, RP2040, Renesas RA — our decision matrix, updated with post-shortage pricing and lead times.
The one ritual that saved more of our projects than any tool, framework or methodology ever did.
Tell us what you're building. Most projects start with a 30-minute scoping call — no forms, no middle-men. You'll talk to an engineer within a day.
