View Services

// Services

From a blank schematic to a shipped product — or any single stage in between.

Firmware Development

Bare-metal and RTOS firmware in C and C++ for microcontrollers such as STM32, ESP32, AVR and RP2040. Robust drivers, bootloaders, OTA updates and power-sensitive designs.

PCB & Hardware Design

Schematic capture and PCB layout from compact sensor boards to multilayer control systems, taken through prototyping, bring-up and design-for-manufacture.

Industrial Automation

Control and monitoring systems for industrial environments — Modbus, CAN and RS-485 integration, sensor networks, data logging and operator interfaces.

Rapid Prototyping

Proof-of-concept builds on Arduino and Raspberry Pi to validate an idea quickly, with a clear path from prototype to production-ready hardware.

Embedded Linux & IoT

Raspberry Pi and embedded Linux systems, device connectivity over MQTT and REST, and secure fleet-ready deployments that talk to the cloud.

Full-Stack Integration

The software around the hardware: dashboards, APIs and tooling that turn device data into something your team can actually use.

// About

FirmwareForge Ltd is a UK-based embedded systems consultancy. We work at the junction of code and hardware: writing the firmware that makes devices dependable, designing the boards they run on, and building the software that connects them to the real world.

We believe good embedded engineering is invisible — products that just work, keep working, and can be maintained years later. That means readable code, tested drivers, documented designs and honest advice about what your project actually needs.

Code. Hardware. Impact.

// Projects

Typical engagements we take on.

Sensor-to-Cloud Gateways

Industrial sensor gateways that bridge Modbus and CAN field devices to cloud dashboards over MQTT — resilient to power cuts and flaky connectivity.

Custom Control Boards

Purpose-built microcontroller boards that replace off-the-shelf stacks: lower unit cost, smaller footprint, and firmware tailored to the job.

Prototype to Production

Taking a Raspberry Pi or Arduino proof-of-concept and re-engineering it into a manufacturable, certifiable product without losing momentum.
