U0 — Custom & Embedded System Applications

Embedded systems development, from the firmware up to the dashboard.

Firmware for STM32, ESP32 and Nordic parts. Linux applications on Raspberry Pi, i.MX and industrial PCs. Plus the gateway, protocol and dashboard layer that turns the data into something a person can act on. We work at a bench with a scope and a logic analyser, not only in an IDE — and when the board is ours too, bring-up starts the day it lands.

Free meeting · Free consultation · Free demo — for every project, every client.

You pay only when you say 'build it'. NDA-first if you want it — your idea stays yours.

The sentences we hear most.

Written the way clients say them on the first call, not the way a brochure would.

  • “Our device works on the bench and locks up in the field after three days.”
  • “The engineer who wrote this firmware left and there is no documentation.”
  • “Every unit has to be configured by hand on the production line.”
  • “We cannot update deployed devices without sending someone in a van.”
  • “Battery life is a third of what we promised the customer.”
  • “Our machine speaks Modbus and our software team has never met it.”

What actually lands in your hands.

Listed before the work starts, so finished is never a matter of opinion.

  • Firmware source with a build that runs in CI, not only on one engineer's laptop.
  • Bootloader and a signed over-the-air update path, with a fallback image for the bad release.
  • Board bring-up report: what works, what does not, and every erratum we hit.
  • A hardware abstraction layer, so the next part shortage is a port and not a rewrite.
  • Production test firmware plus the line procedure: flash, calibrate, serialise, verify.
  • Power measurements taken on a real unit against your stated duty cycle.
  • Protocol documentation: registers, messages, timings, error codes.
  • Handover: annotated schematics, pinned toolchain versions, debug setup, known limits.

Everything above is yours: code, files and accounts are assigned to you and delivered in your repository. You could replace us tomorrow and still ship.

How we build it.

Five steps. The first three cost nothing, and the third is the one that decides everything.

  1. Meet

    FREE

    A 20-minute call. You describe the problem; we ask the questions that matter.

  2. Consult

    FREE

    Feasibility, approach, and an honest effort estimate — from an engineer, not a sales rep.

  3. Demo

    FREE

    We build a working demo of your idea, so you see how we work before you commit.

    What the free demo looks like here

    We take the one function your product is really about — the sensor read, the motor move, the radio link — build it on a dev board on our bench, and send you the video with the raw serial logs, so you can read the timing instead of trusting a claim.

  4. Build

    You liked the demo. We scope it, quote it, and build it.

  5. Ship & support

    Deployment, handover, and support after launch.

You pay only when you say 'build it'.

What the work is done in.

Grouped by where each tool sits in the build. Labels, not a logo wall.

No published case study yet

Your project could be the flagship here — and it starts free.

We publish a case study only once the client has approved what it says and the numbers in it are ours to show. For Custom & Embedded System Applications that shelf is still empty — and we would rather show you nothing than show you somebody else's screenshot. The free demo is how the first one gets written.

Questions that decide whether a project starts.

Cost, timeline, ownership, what happens after delivery — and exactly what the free demo includes for this service.
