Our team also specializes in developing embedded software for devices, sensors, and systems that operate without an operating system. This type of firmware interacts directly with the hardware, captures sensor data and transmits it to the cloud in real-time or at preset intervals. This type of firmware is ideal for devices that require low-latency, and high-performance, and are connected to the internet.
UTF LABS creates BSP (Board Support Package) firmware, which includes applications, libraries, and device drivers. This firmware allows a Linux or real-time operating system (RTOS) to run on a custom device. We also offer board bring-up services which prepare gadgets and hardware components for mass production. This includes testing and configuring hardware and software components to ensure that they are working as intended and are ready for mass production.

Our team has extensive experience in developing firmware for applications that require real-time response. We have worked with a variety of real-time operating systems (RTOS), including FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX, RTEMS, LiteOS, and NuttX. Using an RTOS can significantly speed up the firmware development process and improve the performance of the final product. By utilizing RTOS our team can optimize the firmware to meet the real-time requirements of the product, ensuring that it can handle high-speed data processing and decision making.
If your device requires digital signal processing (DSP) in real-time in addition to algorithmic processing on the microcontroller unit (MCU), we can help with DSP firmware development. We will assist you in selecting an appropriate DSP for your application and develop firmware for it. Our team has experience working with DSP processors produced by Texas Instruments (C6000 and C5000 series), Microchip Technology (dsPIC), and Analog Devices (ADSP-21xx, Blackfin, SHARC, and TigerSHARC) among others. This expertise in DSP firmware development allows us to optimize the firmware to handle high-speed data processing and decision making, meeting the real-time requirements of the product.

Our Linux Kernel developers work at the core of the operating system to modify the Linux layer that accesses hardware. By doing this, we are able to extend a device's memory, optimize CPU usage, manage peripherals, and use custom-built drivers to interface the device with other IT infrastructure components. This allows us to optimize the performance and functionality of the device and make sure that it can communicate effectively with other systems.
The Android Open-Source Project (AOSP), which is backed by Google, is an open-source operating system for IoT and mobile devices. Our engineers at UTF LABS use the AOSP repository to develop the source code required to create custom variants of the Android OS, port devices and accessories to the Android platform and ensure that devices meet compatibility requirements. This allows us to create custom-tailored versions of the Android operating system that are optimized for specific devices and use cases, which can improve performance and usability.
