Firmware testing, diagnostics and technical validation

Silicon LogiX builds software and technical procedures to analyse firmware on customer boards, reproduce faults, run repeatable tests, configure devices and collect useful data for development, support and production.

From firmware diagnostics to technical board validation

The same discipline that makes firmware testable helps isolate faults on customer boards and reduce errors in repeatable activities. The scope is set around the observed defect, available interfaces and fixtures, timing and the technical data useful for each device.

  • Software test benches, sensor and peripheral simulators, regression tests and controlled fault reproduction.
  • Hardware-in-the-loop testing and validation of protocols, I/O, communications and abnormal behavior.
  • Tools for programming, configuration, calibration and automatic board verification when needed in the customer technical flow.
  • Serial numbers, technical reports, test results and traceability linked to a device, batch or customer.

What it includes

Automated testing and HIL
Repeatable scenarios on firmware and real targets, simulators, fault injection and result collection for regressions.
Diagnostics and technical validation
Guided workflows to reproduce faults, verify firmware functions, measure parameters and distinguish outcomes that need investigation.
Programming and calibration
Firmware flashing, configurations, factory parameters and calibration with checks on the resulting device state.
Reports and traceability
Serial number, firmware version, measurements, logs and data useful to development, support and production.

Working method

  1. Review the customer board, firmware, observed defect, available interfaces and the technical data that matters.
  2. Define the architecture around existing fixtures and instruments, software, interfaces, simulators and data storage.
  3. Develop and validate on samples with clear handling of outcomes, errors and operator recovery.
  4. Deliver code, operating procedure, technical documentation and guidance for maintenance and future variants.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to have a test fixture already?

Not necessarily. Work can start from available instruments, interfaces and samples to define what needs to be built or adapted alongside the software.

Can the system manage serial numbers and reports?

Yes. Firmware version, parameters, measurements, test results and technical reports can be associated with each device. The service does not issue conformity certifications.

Can we start with a development bench?

Yes. A tool created for debugging and validation can become the basis of a production test station when repeatability, safety and operator needs are addressed explicitly.
