Embedded Firmware Development
Real-Time Embedded Software
Architected for Precision & Reliability
Mission-critical, deterministic embedded firmware engineered in bare-metal C/C++ and FreeRTOS for microcontrollers, industrial gateways, and smart touch devices.
- Preemptive multitasking and deterministic task scheduling with FreeRTOS
- Bare-metal peripheral drivers for UART, SPI, I²C, CAN 2.0B, and RS485 Modbus
- Cryptographically signed bootloaders with fail-safe rollback for remote OTA updates
- Ultra-low power deep-sleep state management for battery and solar IoT devices
