Firmware
Tismo offers you the perfect blend of firmware development and embedded system expertise to ensure product success. We offer a spectrum of embedded software services including embedded system architecture, custom embedded system development, next-gen technology adoption, firmware development services, middleware development and usability engineering for GUI design.
Leverage the Tismo team to rapidly develop firmware for new circuitry and custom CPU/MCU implementations. We build highly inter-operable embedded software solutions for consumer electronics, IoT, test and measurement equipment, industrial instruments and healthcare products.
We employ rapid prototyping methods to develop a more robust product or device with fewer false starts. We adopt an incremental development approach to discover and test novel solutions. Our expertise across software and hardware enables us to optimally use hardware resources and design solutions that ensure memory saving and power saving.
We excel at end-to-end embedded systems development, from concept to design and prototyping. Or we’ll help you fix a thorny problem. Contact us to discuss how we can best support your specific situation.
We develop code for hardware that is still in development. The Tismo team is intimately familiar with interfacing to hardware and loves bare-metal programming. We have deep expertise with many microprocessors and microcontrollers. Our most recent projects used ARM, ColdFire, 68HC12, MSP430, 8051, AVR, and 68HCS08 systems.
We have developed firmware for:
- Fiber-optic networking
- Telecommunications
- Medical instrumentation
- Measurement devices
- Process control
- IoT Sensors, Gateways, Networks
Measurement and Control
Tismo develops custom embedded software for a wide range of microcontroller (MCU) and digital signal processors (DSP). Our engineering experience includes ARM7, Cortex-M0, Cortex-M3, ARM9, AVR, AVR32, MSP430, Microchip, Renesas, Fujitsu and more.
Leverage our expertise in developing firmware for high sensitivity measurement instruments like flow measurement, gas analysis, temperature, humidity, pH, speed, water quality, spectrometers, and liquid and gas chromatography systems.
Our strengths span sensor integration, development of high speed data acquisition systems, filtering, complex signal processing, motor control and single and multi loop PID controllers.
We architect systems that are robust and maintainable for all-time all-weather use cases. We employ unit, system and integration testing along with continuous integration to make sure the code base stays healthy throughout development.
