Embedded Firmware Development

Reliable, secure firmware for industrial devices: drivers, RTOS applications, low-power design and fail-safe OTA updates.

Embedded Firmware Development

01Overview

What this service covers

Firmware decides whether a connected device is reliable, secure and maintainable over its lifetime. NETNOVA develops embedded firmware for industrial IoT devices, from low-level drivers and board support packages to complete real-time applications. We work with RTOS and bare-metal architectures on modern microcontrollers and cellular IoT system-in-package modules, writing deterministic code for data acquisition, protocol handling and control. For battery-powered products, we optimize sleep modes, radio usage and sampling strategies to extend battery life without losing data. We design devices to be updated safely in the field. Our over-the-air (OTA) update mechanisms use image verification and rollback, so a lost connection or power cut never leaves a device unusable. Security is built in from the start with secure boot, encrypted storage, authenticated communication and secure key provisioning during production. We also implement the industrial and IoT protocols your system depends on, including Modbus RTU/TCP, M-Bus, MQTT, HTTP and TCP/IP, and we document, test and version-control every release so the firmware can be maintained for the full product lifecycle.
