Offshore engineering, from the silicon up

We build the software that runs before your operating system does.

Embedded systems, drivers and firmware for ARM, MIPS, PowerPC and x86 platforms — plus the applications, integration work and QA we build around them.

What we do

Eight services. One team.

Core discipline

Embedded Development

Drivers, firmware and board support for microprocessors, DSPs and microcontrollers — the work we do more of than anything else.

See how we build it →

IT Consulting

Architecture reviews and delivery strategy for teams scaling engineering offshore.

Custom Software Development

Full-cycle builds from spec to deployment across desktop, web and mobile.

Application Integration / SOA

Middleware and API integration connecting legacy and modern systems.

Database Consulting

Schema design, performance tuning and migration, at any scale.

Mobile Solution Development

Native and cross-platform apps, including device-control interfaces.

QA Outsourcing

Manual and automated coverage, verification and benchmarking.

Tech Support

Ongoing maintenance and second-line incident response.

Core discipline

Embedded, down to the register.

A dedicated department designs software for ARM, MIPS, PowerPC and x86 based processors and systems-on-chip, and writes firmware for microprocessors, DSPs and microcontrollers. Our engineers work as comfortably with the hardware as with the code running on it, which is what lets us deliver a complete solution instead of a component that still needs to be integrated.

CapabilityWhat’s included
On-demand development We build the individual pieces a project is missing — drivers, protocol stacks, utilities — and handle OS installation, porting existing applications to a new target, and localizing software for different markets.
Integration For turnkey builds, we develop whatever components are missing, write the test and benchmarking tools needed to verify the result, and set up the operating system, debugging tools and build environment to your specification.
Core capabilities Device driver and system development, Linux porting and board support package work, custom Linux distributions, real-time software, protocol implementation, and board bring-up including bootloaders.
Representative work Past projects include Linux distributions for Intel PXA2xx and Analog Devices BF53x chipsets, builds for PC-104 and PC-104+ form-factor systems, drivers for LCD, USB, CompactFlash, Ethernet and UART, graphic interfaces for mobile control devices and point-of-sale terminals, real-time applications built on RTLinux, RTAI and eCos, and protocol work spanning MODBUS, PROFIBUS, CAN, I²C, SPI and Ethernet.
