Software Services

Software that meets the hardware where it lives.

From 8-bit microcontrollers to multicore SoCs running embedded Linux — firmware, drivers, and diagnostics written by engineers who also design the boards they run on.

Microcontroller Applications

Microcontroller applications are a core competency at LSF Design. Our broad experience means we can work with your existing hardware or recommend the best processor for a specific need.

That experience covers the full range of options — low-end 8-bit devices through high-performance multicore 32-bit parts. 8- and 16-bit devices can serve as peripherals or drive an entire handheld wireless system at very low cost; 32-bit processors run embedded operating systems efficiently and natively support Ethernet, larger LCDs, touchscreens, and expanded memory.

  • Range: 8-bit peripherals through multicore 32-bit SoCs
  • Selection: processor recommendation matched to cost and capability targets
  • Integration: wireless, Ethernet, display, and touchscreen subsystems

Bare Metal & Diagnostics

We have deep experience writing bare-metal applications and diagnostic programs, and we're familiar with the IDEs and toolchains from every major vendor.

We maintain an in-house diagnostic suite that we can port and customize to any SoC device — so you can get up and running and prove out your design quickly, before a line of production software exists.

  • Firmware: bare-metal applications, board bring-up, boot flows
  • Diagnostics: portable in-house suite, customized per design
  • Toolchains: multi-vendor IDE and build-system experience
RTOS, Linux, and driver development SW-03

RTOS / Linux / Drivers

We can help you get your OS of choice up and running. Our experience spans many operating systems — Linux on Intel, PetaLinux on AMD/Xilinx SoCs, FreeRTOS, and other RTOSes — along with custom Linux device drivers and applications.

  • BSPs: board support package development and customization
  • Drivers: custom Linux kernel drivers and device trees
  • Platforms: PetaLinux, embedded Linux, FreeRTOS and other RTOSes
OPEN SOURCE · lsfDiag
We develop and support lsfDiag, our open-source diagnostic tool providing a suite of system diagnostics under Linux — register access, memory inspection, and hardware bring-up utilities.

Need firmware for hardware that doesn't exist yet?

That's our favorite kind of project. Tell us where you are and we'll help you plan the software alongside the board.
