Firmware Development

Reliable, Maintainable Embedded Software for Electronic Products

We provide professional firmware development services for embedded electronic systems, supporting clients from early-stage prototyping through to volume manufacture and in-field support. Throughout the development process our engineers work closely with our in-house or our clients electronics design team to deliver robust, well-documented firmware aligned to a detailed requirements specification.
Futhermore, our focus is on reliability, traceability, and long-term maintainability, ensuring firmware can be safely updated, tested, and supported throughout the product lifecycle.

Firmware Capabilities
  • Microcontroller-based products (8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit)
  • Embedded C / C++ development
  • Bare metal or RTOS implementations (FreeRTOS and Zephyr are core with experience in many others)
  • Peripheral driver development
  • Communications stacks (USB, UART, SPI, I²C, CAN, Ethernet, BLE, Wi-Fi and many more)
  • Rich GUI implementations using a variety of frameworks
  • Bootloaders and secure firmware update mechanisms
  • Power management and low-energy optimisation
  • Production test and manufacturing firmware
  • Fault handling, diagnostics, and logging
  • Calibration and configuration frameworks
Quality, Compliance & Traceability

We develop firmware with consideration for:

  • Code readability and maintainability
  • Version control and change tracking through GitHub with secure 2FA and your own isolated organisation
  • Structured error handling and diagnostics
  • Support for product validation and regulatory submissions
  • Long-term service and field update strategies
  • All development carried out by our UK team.

Where required, we support firmware development for regulated environments, including medical, industrial and automotive-adjacent applications.  Our embedded systems engineers bring decades of combined experience delivering custom firmware solutions for IoT devices, industrial control systems, and consumer electronics across the UK and internationally. Whether you need a complete firmware development partner or specialist support for complex embedded software challenges, our team provides flexible engagement models tailored to your project timeline and budget.  If you’re developing a new electronic product or need support improving or maintaining existing firmware, we’d be happy to discuss your requirements.
