Embedded Software
We develop embedded software for intelligent products, IoT devices and industrial systems. That can be hardware integration, real-time applications or complete software platforms. We build robust solutions for reliable operation, high dependability and long lifetime.
Embedded Software
Embedded software ties hardware and software together
Embedded software is the software layer that runs directly on the product's hardware. It controls sensors, actuators and peripherals. It also handles communication and makes sure the product runs stably.
At Move Innovation we develop embedded software for both new products and existing solutions. We work with everything from battery-powered IoT devices and measurement systems to industrial products with high demands on stability, safety and lifetime.
Real-time control
Precise timing with RTOS and bare metal
Low power design
Optimised for battery-powered products
Close to the hardware
Board bring-up, drivers and integration
Communication
CAN, MODBUS and wireless protocols
Communication and integration
Embedded software is rarely an isolated solution. Products often have to communicate with sensors, other devices or external systems.
We develop software for communication interfaces and industrial protocols such as CAN and MODBUS. We work with both wireless and wired communication. Whether the data is processed locally or sent to the cloud, our focus is on stable operation and high reliability.
Collaboration between
hardware and software
When electronics and software are developed in parallel, the choice of platform early in the project matters a great deal for the finished product.
Our embedded software developers work closely with electronics engineers throughout the process. Together we assess processor choice, memory, power consumption, communication and software architecture, among other things. That way hardware and software support each other as well as possible.
This cross-disciplinary approach reduces development risk and makes it easier to develop products that can be manufactured, maintained and developed further over many years.
Our development process
An embedded project typically starts with a technical clarification, where we go through the product's requirements, hardware platform and system architecture together with you.
After that we develop the solution in short sprints with ongoing testing on the actual hardware. When we test the software early on the final platform, we find faults before they become expensive to fix.
After delivery we can continue with maintenance, optimisation and further development of firmware and software throughout the product's lifetime.
Embedded software development from board bring-up to application
We develop embedded software at several levels. That can be board bring-up, driver development, middleware, application software or integration with cloud.
Our experience covers, among other things:
- Board bring-up and hardware integration
- Driver development
- Embedded Linux
- Zephyr RTOS and other real-time operating systems
- Low power design
- IoT and edge devices
We develop software for both microcontrollers and Linux-based platforms, depending on the product's requirements for performance, memory, power consumption and functionality.
Frequently asked questions
What is embedded software, and when do I need it?
Embedded software is the code that runs directly on a physical product — a sensor, a medical instrument or an industrial machine, for example — and controls the hardware. We develop stable, energy-efficient software tailored to your specific product.
What types of project do you typically work on?
We work with everything from prototypes and MVPs to full product development. That covers firmware, RTOS-based systems, drivers, communication protocols (CAN, SPI, I²C, UART) and low power design for battery-powered devices.
Can you work with our existing hardware and codebase?
Yes. We adapt to your setup. That can be further development of firmware, performance optimisation, porting to new hardware, or review and debugging of code written by others.
What does real time mean in embedded software?
Real time means the system has to respond within a precise time window. It must not only be fast, but predictable. In an industrial machine, for example, a sensor signal may require a response within microseconds. Otherwise there can be physical consequences. This is where an RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) comes in, because it manages tasks and priorities deterministically.
Shall we turn your idea into reality?
Technical development takes more than good ideas — it takes the right skills. We have gathered hardware, software and engineering expertise under one roof, so you get from prototype to production quickly and safely.
