Embedded Systems Development

With extensive know-how in the development of software, firmware and hardware for bare-metal, embedded Linux, RTOS, low-power systems, Qt and FPGA developments, we offer comprehensive solutions from a single source.

Special know-how

Bare metal

Our expertise in bare-metal programming enables the development of highly optimized and specialized embedded systems without an operating system. This offers maximum control and efficiency for the specific applications. We achieve maximum performance and reliability through direct hardware interaction.

RTOS (Real-Time Operating Systems)

With our experience in various RTOS systems, we create real-time solutions that deliver precise and deterministic performance. These systems are ideal for time-critical applications where reliability and responsiveness are crucial.

Embedded Linux

We use embedded Linux to develop powerful and flexible solutions for a wide range of embedded systems. Our customized Linux-based systems provide a robust platform for complex applications that are scalable and future-proof.

C/C++/RUST

Our developers are proficient in C, C++ and RUST to write robust and efficient software for embedded systems. These languages offer the necessary performance and control to realize demanding and resource-intensive applications.

Qt Framework

Many embedded systems are equipped with (touch) displays to enable user interaction. With our specific know-how in the development of GUI applications on resource-limited systems with Qt, we can develop state-of-the-art user interfaces that look modern and offer an excellent user experience.

Connection of interfaces

We integrate components via a wide range of interfaces: Modbus, CAN, UART, Matter, BLE, NFC etc.

Low Power

We develop low-power solutions that minimize the energy consumption of mobile embedded systems without compromising performance. Our approaches ensure long battery life and efficient operation, ideal for mobile and IoT devices.

Edge AI

We bring artificial intelligence directly to the edge to enable fast and local data processing. Our Edge AI solutions use machine learning and advanced algorithms to create intelligent and autonomous systems that can react immediately to data.

Device update capability

Our solutions include advanced update mechanisms that enable devices to be updated securely and efficiently. This ensures that systems are always up to date and protected against security threats.

Security and crypto chips

Our expertise in the integration of crypto chips secures embedded systems using advanced encryption techniques. We guarantee maximum protection of data and communication channels against cyber threats.

Test strategies

We implement comprehensive test strategies, including unit tests, integration tests, end-of-line (EOL) tests, software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. These rigorous testing methods ensure that our systems meet the highest quality standards and function reliably.

Requirements Engineering

We specialize in requirements engineering and the translation of complex requirements into efficient and reliable software solutions. Through close collaboration with our clients and a deep understanding of their needs, we ensure that every solution is precise and customized. Our approach guarantees that the systems developed not only meet current requirements, but are also future-proof and scalable.

FPGA development

Our team has in-depth FPGA expertise and applies this specifically to performance-critical projects. This technology enables us to handle complex tasks in real time while meeting the highest requirements in terms of speed and reliability.

Embedded Excellence

Since our company was founded, the development of individual firmware, software and electronics has been a central part of our work. We offer over 2 decades of experience in bare-metal, embedded Linux, RTOS and electronics development. The projects and solutions are tailored to the specific requirements of our customers.

Software and hardware are always perfectly matched.

We develop complete solutions, prototypes and small series for various application areas and industries. These include complex control systems for critical applications such as in the medical sector, mobile devices for configuring terminals or HIL test systems for automated testing of devices by simulating sensors and actuators.

We are also experts in the control of various interfaces (e.g. sensors, third-party systems via UART, I2C, SPI), (proprietary) protocols (e.g. Matter) and bus systems (e.g. Modbus, CAN). With our connectivity solutions, we connect products and devices with smartphone apps, cloud and web servers and PC applications.

In the field of electronics, we create circuit diagrams and layouts, build prototypes, put them into operation and support customers during the transition to series production. We also offer circuit diagram reviews and EMC tests.
