Embedded firmware and FPGA development
Silicon LogiX supports product teams in the design and development of reliable embedded firmware, from MCU bring-up to production-ready architecture. The focus is practical: deterministic behavior, maintainable code, clear diagnostics and firmware that can evolve after release.
When firmware needs more than a prototype
Many embedded projects start with working code, then become difficult to extend, debug or update. A production firmware base needs architecture, controlled dependencies and repeatable validation.
- Bare-metal or RTOS firmware for MCUs and connected devices.
- Driver integration, timing analysis, interrupts, DMA and peripheral control.
- Bootloaders, firmware update flows, rollback strategy and release diagnostics.
- FPGA-oriented integration where deterministic logic and firmware must work together.
What it includes
Module boundaries, task model, state machines, timing and maintainability decisions.
GPIO, timers, ADC, UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, DMA and board-level bring-up.
FreeRTOS, Zephyr or bare-metal choices based on latency, memory and product constraints.
Tracing, stack and heap analysis, test plans, fault reproduction and release readiness.
Working method
- Review goals, constraints, existing code or hardware documentation.
- Define risks, architecture choices and a practical execution plan.
- Work iteratively on real targets, with measurable checkpoints.
- Deliver code, documentation and technical decisions that the team can maintain.

Frequently asked questions
Can you work on existing firmware?
Yes. The work can start from legacy code, a prototype or a partially released product, with a focus on reducing risk without blocking ongoing development.
Do you support both bare-metal and RTOS designs?
Yes. The choice depends on timing, memory, safety, team skills and long-term maintenance.
Can the output be handed over to an internal team?
Yes. Code structure, documentation and technical decisions are prepared so the internal team can keep evolving the product.
