Embedded & Firmware Development

We develop reliable embedded software and firmware for connected devices — from sensor-driven IoT systems to safety-critical real-time controllers that operate flawlessly in the field.

RTOS & Real-Time Systems

Firmware built on FreeRTOS, Zephyr, and bare-metal — deterministic, reliable, and optimized for constrained environments.

IoT & Connected Devices

End-to-end IoT solutions from edge firmware to cloud ingestion, with secure OTA updates and remote monitoring.

Edge AI & On-Device ML

Deploy TinyML and optimized inference models on microcontrollers for intelligent sensing without cloud dependency.

Hardware-Software Co-Design

Collaborative development with hardware teams to optimize firmware for your specific board, peripherals, and power budget.

Communication Protocols

BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, CAN bus, SPI, I2C, UART — we implement and optimize the protocols your device needs.

Safety & Certification

Development practices aligned with IEC 62304, DO-178C, and automotive SPICE for regulated industries.

Key Benefits

  • Ship reliable devices that perform consistently in real-world conditions
  • Extend battery life with power-optimized firmware design
  • Add intelligence to devices with on-device ML and edge computing
  • Update firmware remotely with secure OTA update infrastructure
  • Reduce time-to-market with experienced embedded engineering teams
  • Meet regulatory requirements with certification-aligned development practices

Why CodeBranch Teams

Dedicated teams powered by agentic development — shipping quality software faster through AI-augmented engineering.

We Provide

Dedicated engineers augmented by AI coding agents + Technical leadership + Project and product management — delivering faster without compromising quality or security.

We Are Based

Our teams are based in Colombia and work within U.S. time zones.

Competitive Budgets

Colombia-based teams at competitive rates — and agentic development means fewer billable hours for the same output.

Firmware That Works When It Matters Most

Embedded systems don’t get the luxury of a refresh button. The software we write runs on devices deployed in factories, vehicles, medical equipment, and consumer products — where reliability isn’t optional and every byte of memory counts.

01

From Microcontroller to Cloud

We build the full stack of connected devices: firmware that reads sensors and controls actuators, communication layers that transmit data securely, and cloud integrations that make device data actionable. OTA update systems ensure your fleet stays current without physical access.

02

Intelligence at the Edge

Not every decision should round-trip to the cloud. We deploy optimized ML models directly on microcontrollers — enabling real-time anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, voice recognition, and smart sensing with minimal power consumption using TinyML and edge AI frameworks.

03

Power-Conscious Engineering

Battery-powered devices demand firmware that's ruthlessly efficient. We design power management strategies including sleep modes, duty cycling, and peripheral management that maximize device lifetime without sacrificing functionality.

04

Built for Production

Our firmware goes through rigorous testing — unit tests, hardware-in-the-loop simulation, and field validation. We deliver production-ready code with documentation, build systems, and flashing tools that your manufacturing team can rely on.

05

Cross-Platform Embedded Expertise

ARM Cortex-M, ESP32, STM32, Nordic nRF, Raspberry Pi — we work across the major embedded platforms and adapt to your hardware choices. Our experience with multiple architectures means we bring best practices from across the embedded ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of embedded systems does CodeBranch develop for?
We develop firmware for microcontrollers (ESP32, STM32, Nordic nRF, TI), embedded Linux systems, DSP processors, and custom hardware platforms. Our work spans consumer electronics, IoT devices, industrial equipment, medical devices, and automotive systems.
Do you handle both firmware and hardware bring-up?
Yes. We develop firmware from bare-metal and RTOS-based systems to embedded Linux builds. We also handle hardware bring-up, BSP development, peripheral driver integration, and board-level debugging in collaboration with your hardware team.
How do you ensure firmware reliability and safety?
We follow rigorous testing practices including unit tests, hardware-in-the-loop testing, static analysis, and code reviews. For safety-critical applications, we apply MISRA C guidelines and design for deterministic, fault-tolerant operation.
Can you build OTA update systems for embedded devices?
Yes. We design secure over-the-air update infrastructure with delta updates, cryptographic verification, rollback support, and fleet management — ensuring your devices stay current and secure after deployment.
What communication protocols do you work with?
We implement BLE, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Thread, Matter, LoRaWAN, cellular (LTE-M, NB-IoT), UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and MQTT/CoAP. We help you choose the right protocol based on your power, range, throughput, and cost requirements.
