Secure OTA at Scale
A/B partition updates, delta packages, canary rollouts, and auto-rollback for device fleets of 100,000+.
03
DevSecOps & Compliance
DO-178C, ISO 26262, MISRA C, SBOM, and HSM integration - certification artifacts automated end-to-end.
04
Platform Engineering
IaC-orchestrated infrastructure, GitOps workflows, and self-service tooling for embedded engineering teams.
05
Observability & DORA
Fleet telemetry, predictive maintenance, real-time dashboards, and embedded-specific DORA metrics tracking.
06
Edge AI & MLOps
TensorFlow Lite pipelines for ARM Cortex with OTA model updates independent of firmware release cycles.
Days 1 – 30 01

Build System Mastery

Eliminate long build times and brittle toolchains through GitOps-managed reproducible builds, automated BSP validation, and hardware-accelerated CI from day one.

  • Complete embedded toolchain audit - Yocto/BuildRoot configuration, BSP quality, and build reproducibility assessment across your full hardware matrix. 15+ bottlenecks identified - 70% faster cycles
  • Yocto CI/CD pipeline with distributed build caching (sstate-cache) and artifact management for reproducible images on every commit. 6-hour builds to 45 minutes
  • BuildRoot automation for rapid prototyping with custom rootfs generation for STM32MP, i.MX, Raspberry Pi, and custom SoC variants. Prototype to build under 15 minutes
  • Layer-based architecture for multi-board support with unified configuration and zero BSP conflicts across hardware variants. One codebase - 10+ hardware targets
  • Automated firmware signing, secure boot chain validation, and cross-compilation toolchain standardization with SDK generation for dev teams. Identical binaries - no "works on my board"
  • Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing integration with automated device flashing, boot-time benchmarking, peripheral validation, and power consumption profiling. Real hardware validation - 95% regression prevention
  • Device tree and kernel configuration management with full version control, rollback capability, and automated performance regression detection. Rollback kernel configs in seconds
Days 31 – 60 02

OTA & Fleet Management

Deploy firmware confidently to massive device fleets using IaC-orchestrated OTA infrastructure, atomic update mechanisms, and enterprise-grade telemetry.

  • Secure OTA infrastructure with A/B partition updates, automatic rollback on failure, and power-loss resilience for industrial environments. Zero-brick guarantee - auto-recovery
  • Delta update generation for bandwidth-constrained IoT deployments - sub-100KB patches delivered over cellular, LoRa, or MQTT/CoAP. 90% smaller packages - any network
  • Fleet management dashboard with device inventory, firmware version tracking, real-time health monitoring, and deployment success analytics. 100K+ devices - single console
  • Progressive rollout strategies: canary deployments to device cohorts with automated anomaly detection and instant kill-switch capability. 1% canary - instant halt on anomaly
  • Cryptographic update verification with signed firmware, PKI, and hardware secure element (TPM/HSM) integration for tamper-proof authenticity. TPM/HSM enforced - zero malicious updates
  • Remote diagnostics and log aggregation from edge devices with real-time metrics and predictive maintenance alerting for proactive RMA management. Debug field failures without physical access
  • Compliance logging for safety-critical systems with immutable audit trails tracing every firmware change to individual device serial numbers. FDA/FAA audit-ready records
Days 61 – 90 03

Defense-Grade Security

Achieve aerospace and automotive certification compliance through AI-powered security pipelines, supply chain vulnerability management, and sustained platform engineering excellence.

  • DO-178C compliance framework: software traceability, requirements coverage, and automated certification artifact generation for Level A through E. FAA/EASA submission packages automated
  • ISO 26262 automotive safety pipelines: ASIL-D verification, safety case generation, and compliance checks for automotive OEM audit readiness. Automotive OEM audit-ready in 90 days
  • Static analysis integration with MISRA C compliance, Coverity/Klocwork scanning, and SBOM generation with continuous CVE monitoring of embedded libraries. Certification-grade quality gates
  • Real-time OS integration - FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or custom RTOS - with deterministic testing and microsecond-level timing validation on every CI run. Hard real-time guarantees verified
  • AI-powered firmware anomaly detection with behavioral analysis for compromised devices and automated quarantine across production fleets. Zero-day detection - automated quarantine
  • Power and thermal profiling automation with CI-driven optimization, battery benchmarking, and thermal throttling elimination through continuous testing. 30% battery life gains through CI
  • Manufacturing integration: golden image generation and secure provisioning with unique credentials for 10,000 units per day - factory-line ready at scale. 10,000 devices/day provisioned
  • Full team enablement - Yocto deep-dives, embedded security training, certification workshops - plus complete handover with layer docs, runbooks, and test suites. BSP experts internal - 80% less vendor dependency
