Embedded Software Development for IoT & Connected Devices
We write the firmware that makes connected hardware actually work. From bare-metal microcontroller code and RTOS-based architectures to wireless protocol stacks and hardware abstraction layers, our embedded software engineers work directly alongside our electronics team, so your software and hardware are designed together from day one. Based in Veldhoven, we serve companies across the Netherlands and Europe.
Our Services
-
System architecture
We excel in crafting diverse system architectures, encompassing both hardware and software components, tailored to meet specific project requirements and optimize performance across various applications and environments.
-
Design and programming
Our expertise extends from low-level firmware programming to high-level software development, ensuring robust, reliable, and user-friendly solutions across various platforms and technologies.
-
Version Control
Our approach ensures seamless collaboration, version tracking, and code integrity, facilitating agile development cycles and enhancing overall project management and delivery.
Our complete product design process
-
We start by understanding your hardware platform, performance constraints, communication protocols, and certification requirements. We define the software architecture, OS selection, memory model, task structure, and interface design, before writing any code.
-
We bring up the hardware platform, develop the Board Support Package, and validate peripheral drivers, establishing a stable foundation for all firmware development that follows.
-
We develop firmware iteratively, integrating with hardware in parallel. Each module is unit-tested and reviewed against the requirements specification. We use version control and CI pipelines from day one.
-
We test the complete embedded system, firmware interacting with all hardware peripherals, communication stacks, power management, and edge cases. Hardware-in-the-loop testing validates behaviour under real conditions.
-
For regulated applications, medical devices, safety-critical systems, or wireless products requiring CE/FCC certification, we prepare the technical documentation, test evidence, and traceability records required by certification bodies.
-
We provide ongoing firmware maintenance, OTA update mechanisms, and feature development after product launch, ensuring your deployed devices stay secure, stable, and up to date throughout their lifecycle.
