Firmware development services

Rundown of ITRex’s firmware development services

ITRex provides end-to-end firmware development services for consumer electronics brands, automotive electronics suppliers, medical device manufacturers, telecommunications companies, and research facilities. We help our clients with:

Real-time operating system (RTOS) implementation

Our firmware development company will assist you in integrating and customizing RTOS solutions for embedded systems. We will choose an appropriate RTOS based on your needs and configure its components, such as task scheduling and memory management. Next, our firmware developers will optimize the performance of your RTOS and conduct extensive testing and debugging to ensure reliability and timing accuracy.

Operating system (OS) customization

As part of our custom firmware development services, we assist clients in customizing operating systems such as Android Open Source Project (AOSP), Linux, and Unity Core to meet specific project requirements. Hire ITRex firmware developers to optimize the operating system's footprint, performance, security, and stability, including modifications to the kernel, kernel modules, and drivers.

Bare-metal firmware development

Collaborate with our firmware development company to create low-level software that runs directly on hardware solutions lacking an underlying OS, such as sensors, microcontrollers, and PLCs. We will write custom code for hardware initialization and configuration, implement hardware abstraction layers (HALs), create and integrate peripheral device drivers, and optimize the firmware for maximum performance and memory efficiency.

Linux kernel and driver development

ITRex’s firmware developers are well-versed in customizing and extending the Linux kernel for various Linux distributions, such as Yocto, OpenWrt, Linaro, and OmniOS, and creating custom kernel modules and drivers. We’ll also help you debug and fix kernel-level issues, enhance firmware security, and implement power management features like sleep mode and CPU frequency scaling.

Board support package (BSP) development

Our custom firmware development services include robust BSP solutions that enable operating systems to run on a specific device. ITRex develops low-level bootloaders for hardware initialization and device drivers for board-specific peripherals and provides comprehensive documentation and support for integrating BSPs with higher-level software. We also offer assistance with board bring-ups.

Digital signal processing (DSP) firmware development

One of the leading firmware development companies, ITRex helps create low-level software for devices that analyzes digital signals—from visual and audio data to medical sensor readings. To accomplish this, we implement robust DSP algorithms, establish data processing and management flows, integrate DSP firmware with other system components, and configure secure boot and update mechanisms.

Firmware updates and maintenance

Contact our firmware development company to safeguard your devices and cyber-physical systems. ITRex has hands-on experience developing efficient over-the-air (OTA) firmware update mechanisms, fixing bugs and vulnerabilities through firmware patches, and enhancing existing firmware solutions. We also provide full support for firmware version management and rollback.

Security and encryption firmware development

Our firmware development services include implementing security features and encryption mechanisms. We help clients prevent unauthorized code execution through secure boot processes, encrypt data in transit and at rest, and integrate hardware security modules (HSMs). ITRex’s firmware developers also conduct comprehensive security audits and assessments to ensure compliance with industry and regional security regulations.

Rapid prototyping and proof of concept (PoC)

Before committing to full-scale development, our custom firmware development company conducts rapid prototyping and proof of concepts to validate the feasibility of new ideas. Collaborate with ITRex to accelerate firmware development for new hardware prototypes, fine-tune requirements based on user feedback, choose appropriate technologies, and create initial prototypes to gain stakeholder support and raise funds.

Performance optimization and tuning

Aside from firmware design and development, ITRex can analyze firmware performance, identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in code, and tweak low-level software for increased speed, efficient memory usage, faster I/O operations, and optimized power consumption. We can also assist you in customizing firmware to take advantage of specific hardware features and improve data throughput.
