Low-level firmware and RTOS implementations that bridge physical silicon constraints with high-level digital logic and real-time requirements.


Real-time operating system implementation for FreeRTOS, Zephyr, RT-Thread, and custom schedulers with deterministic timing.

Custom kernel-level driver development for sensors, actuators, displays, and communication peripherals across multiple architectures.

Secure, OTA-capable firmware with robust bootloaders, cryptographic signing, and fail-safe update mechanisms.

Board Support Package creation and customization for ARM, RISC-V, and x86 platforms with optimized peripheral configuration.
Comprehensive analysis of hardware constraints, real-time requirements, and memory budgets to define the embedded architecture.
Agile firmware development with continuous integration testing, hardware-in-loop validation, and performance profiling.
Secure field deployment with OTA update infrastructure, remote monitoring, and long-term maintenance support.
Redundant safety loops and SIL-certified firmware architectures for fail-operational systems.
Optimization from memory controller registers to top-level APIs, ensuring no layer is left untuned.
Energy-harvesting nodes designed to run for decades on a single cell with sub-microwatt sleep modes.
Embedded systems are ChipTalk's core competency. Our firmware engineers average 12+ years of experience across bare-metal, RTOS, and Linux environments, and have deployed production code on ARM, RISC-V, and x86 architectures in volume exceeding 2 million units. We write deterministic, testable firmware with hardware-in-the-loop validation from day one—not as an afterthought.
Developed a dual-core RTOS firmware for a six-axis industrial robot, achieving 1 kHz control loop with <2 µs jitter under full thermal load.
Built the full BSP for an automotive BMS controller on NXP S32K, including secure boot, CAN-FD stack, and ASIL-C certified firmware update infrastructure.
Our firmware is built on a bedrock of deterministic design: priority-inheritance scheduling, statically allocated memory, and hardware-enforced MPU partitions. The result is field-proven reliability with a <0.01% field failure rate across all deployed products.
