Firmware Development

Writing production level firmware for a product requires deep knowledge of computer engineering, architecture, electrical engineering, and software development. Many people claim to write 'code' but CLI Systems knows how to write firmware.

Areas of Expertise

Legacy Systems

If you have an existing (legacy) embedded system written in C, we promise we can work with it. We are true experts in C, and we have worked with some ancient and wild code!

We have seen a lot of poorly designed C microcontroller code. If your code is like that, don't worry, we really have seen it all! We are perfectly comfortable digging in to an old application where the development team didn't quite get it right, or the original developer moved on with little or no documentation.

CLI Systems has provided the following services for legacy systems:

• Analyze/Document C firmware
• Add features to an existing system
• Bug fixes
• Improve performance
  • Yes, we can typically make it run faster
• Improve resource utilization
  • Smart programming really can recover RAM and flash space!
• Add firmware update (OTA) or bootloader

Tell us about your system, and see where we can help.
