Embedded Systems
From ultra-low power to real-time data processing, AI, and IoT: We develop intelligent microcontroller and FPGA solutions, ranging from efficient end devices to powerful multi-processor systems.
Our services
- Embedded System Design: System architecture, subsystem specification, HW/SW co-design
- Embedded Software: Driver modules, services, protocols, as well as bare-metal and RTOS programming
- Embedded Hardware: Electronics and PCB design, multi-cores and HW acceleration, microcontroller and FPGA programming
- Embedded Tools: Tool support, CI/CD and test frameworks, analysis and measurement devices
- Technical Consulting & Training: Exploratory feasibility studies, contract research, technology recommendations, requirements analysis, workshops, and training sessions
Key topics
- Tiny: System design for microcontroller-based solutions with efficient resource usage (regarding size, memory requirements, processing power, latency, power consumption)
- Low-Power: Energy-efficient data processing and power management for mobile, battery-powered systems (e.g. hearables, wearables, handhelds, mobile robots/drones)
- Intelligent: Signal processing and motor control in real-time, multi-core and RTOS support, machine learning on microcontrollers and deep neural co-processors
- Connected: Edge computing for end devices with cloud connectivity (IoT), distributed algorithms, secure systems, wireless protocols (e.g. BLE, WiFi) for actuator/sensor networks
Example projects
- Low-Power Edge Device:Energy-efficient Data Logger for Alpine Springs
- Embedded Sensors & Actuators: Automatic Weld Line Inspection
- Tiny Machine Learning: Proof of Concept for RISC-V based Edge Computing
