What we do
We provide comprehensive firmware development services, including creating low-level firmware, modifying and debugging existing firmware to optimize performance, and building firmware for multi-protocol and system-on-chip (SoC) devices. As a hardware-software integrated solution provider, we have extensive experience working with hardware, operating systems, low-level diagnostic and performance tools.
What’s included
RTOS Development
Our experts develop RTOS-based firmware for solutions that requiring real-time response. We work with FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX, RTEMS, LiteOS, NuttX, and other real-time operating systems. Significantly RTOS speeds up the firmware development process.
ROS Development
Our experienced firmware development engineers have extensive hands-on experience with the Robot Operating System (ROS), a set of software libraries and tools designed to control low-level hardware in robots and robotic automation systems.
Cortex-M Family
The ARM Cortex-M processor family is the most common platform we normally work with. Depending on the requirements, we use different versions of Cortex micro-controllers: M0/M0+, M4/M7, and the Cortex-R family.
Non-OS Based Embedded Firmware
When an embedded electronic device needs to run a set of tasks continuously and sequentially, or until the power supply is removed, we develop bare-metal firmware without using any operating system. This approach allows you to gain control over embedded system resources to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and meet specifications.
AVR, PIC, MSP430, etc.
We apply AVR, PIC, and MSP430 micro- controllers, which may be well-suited for some specific tasks. We kindly recommend using more powerful architectures in embedded development to avoid significant investment when moving from one platform to another.
DSP Firmware Development
We develop DSP firmware when the device requires algorithmic processing on the micro-controller and real-time digital signal processing. Our experienced engineers have extensive experience working with the C6000 and C5000 series DSP processors from TI (Texas Instruments), dsPIC from Microchip Technology, and ADSP-21xx, Blackfin, SHARC, and TigerSHARC from ADI (Analog Devices Inc.).
Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)
The hardware abstraction layer (HAL) enables the development of reusable and hardware-independent firmware. HAL is essentially an API used for interacting with hardware. We use existing HALs provided by microcontrollers and compilers, and create custom HALs.
Testing Services
Testing includes firmware burning-in, debugging and optimization. We test each firmware part individually using all possible scenarios and apply manual and automated testing methods to deliver reliable, high-performance products.
Migration of Old Firmware to New Platforms
We can help our clients migrate the firmware from one MCU to another, preserving all the features and programming models unique to the product. We can change the PCB (printed circuit board) layout and make the design portable.
Our projects
Customizable Capacitive Keyboard
Integrated Sources created a highly customized keyboard that meets industrial functional purpose and will appear to the fans of exclusive products.
Vibration Conditioning Solution
The solutions measures industrial machinery vibration for a cement manufacturer. We implemented analog and digital filters that the output signal smooth and strong.
Medical Alert Bracelet Application
The Bracelet designed for patients at community clinics and hospitals. It sends notifies to hospital staffs when an emergency call from the patient.
Bluetooth Hands-free Solution
It allows you to make and receive calls without needing to hold a phone, improving safety and allowing for voice commands with several advantages like hands-free connectivity, convenience, etc.

Explore our workflow
01
A preliminary project evaluation
We get acquainted with the concept of the future solution and sign a non-disclosure agreement. The team gathers project requirements, studies relevant documents, and analyzes rival products on the market. At this phase, a preliminary project evaluation is made.
02
Set a budget and deadlines
We contact the customer to confirm the project requirements. Then we create a technical specification and set a budget and deadlines.
03
Final evaluation of the project
We make the final evaluation of the project, make up a team, and schedule its workload.
04
Sign a contract
We sign a contract for firmware development. The team gets to work.
05
Firmware development
We select libraries, languages, and tools and get into firmware development, factoring in device features and hardware configuration. The team identifies and eliminates bugs and optimizes the performance of the software. Customers receive daily reports on the progress. If necessary, the plan can be amended.
06
Testing
The team tests all the software functions. We check its performance under corresponding operating conditions and run some tests required for product certification. If necessary, the product is then modified.
07
Finalize documentation
After the tests, we finalize the necessary documentation. We can prepare manuals if the product is designed for in-house use.
08
Free warranty period
When the development process is finished, customers can enjoy a free warranty period. During this time, the team will fix any bugs and defects in the product.
