Technologies We Work With

The architectures, languages, protocols, and tools behind our projects — chosen based on what the product actually needs, not a single stack we push on every design. An Arm Cortex-M board, a Linux gateway, and an FPGA-based system call for different languages and toolchains, and we move between them depending on what the job actually requires.

CPU Architectures

The right CPU architecture is a trade-off between performance, power, cost, and how much legacy software has to keep running. Older Arm cores still power a huge share of low-cost microcontrollers in the field, while newer cores and x86/AMD64 platforms carry the performance for embedded Linux and edge compute workloads. We design firmware for the architecture your product actually needs.

Programming Languages

Firmware doesn't live in one language. We move between them based on the layer we're working in — some code has to run in a handful of cycles, some has to describe hardware itself, and some just has to move data reliably between systems and tools.

Communication Protocols

A product rarely speaks just one protocol. It might read a sensor over I2C, talk to a peripheral over SPI, report status over CAN, and connect to the outside world over Wi-Fi or a low-power wireless link — often all on the same board.

Design Automation Tools

The tool has to match the job: board layout, circuit simulation, or FPGA synthesis each need software built for that specific problem. We work across the major EDA toolchains instead of forcing every project through one.
