Firmware Development Services
Etrotrust offers comprehensive firmware development services to companies looking to get the most out of their hardware: control gadgets and equipment remotely, gather and process sensor data, and connect devices within an IoT system.
Firmware Solutions for IoT and Consumer Electronics:
- Bare Metal Firmware for Sensors:
We develop embedded software for devices, sensors, and systems working without an operating system. Such firmware interacts directly with the hardware, captures sensor data, and transfers it to the cloud — in real time or at preset intervals.
- Board Support Package (BSP) Development:
Etrotrust creates BSP firmware featuring applications, libraries, and device drivers. Our firmware allows a Linux or real-time operating system (RTOS) to function on a custom device. We also provide board bring-up services to prepare gadgets and hardware components for mass production.
- Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Our DSP expertise spans real-time sensor, audio, and video data analysis. We can augment DSP solutions with Machine Learning algorithms deployed locally or in the cloud to detect objects in a camera feed, remove noise in a voice recording, and recognize patterns in equipment performance data.
- Linux Kernel Development:
Our Linux Kernel developers get down to the OS core to modify the Linux layer that accesses hardware. This way, we can extend a gadget’s memory, optimize CPU usage, manage peripherals, and use custom-built drivers to interface the device with other IT infrastructure components.
Our Approach to Firmware Development:
- Analysis
We analyze your hardware solution to choose an appropriate firmware architecture pattern, eliminate OS overheads, and meet latency and power consumption requirements.
- Development
When building firmware, we take into account various economic and technological factors that may affect the cost of deploying, maintaining, and extending your technology solution in the long run.
- Testing
We provide an array of Quality Assurance services (PCB assembly testing, signal integrity analysis, firmware and low-level software testing, debugging) to make sure only clean and secure code makes it to production.
