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.
FirmwareForge Ltd delivers reliable, high-performance embedded systems from firmware to full-stack applications. Turning ideas into real-world products.
From a blank schematic to a shipped product — or any single stage in between.
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.
Schematic capture and PCB layout from compact sensor boards to multilayer control systems, taken through prototyping, bring-up and design-for-manufacture.
Control and monitoring systems for industrial environments — Modbus, CAN and RS-485 integration, sensor networks, data logging and operator interfaces.
Proof-of-concept builds on Arduino and Raspberry Pi to validate an idea quickly, with a clear path from prototype to production-ready hardware.
Raspberry Pi and embedded Linux systems, device connectivity over MQTT and REST, and secure fleet-ready deployments that talk to the cloud.
The software around the hardware: dashboards, APIs and tooling that turn device data into something your team can actually use.
The tools we reach for, day in, day out.
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.
Typical engagements we take on.
Industrial sensor gateways that bridge Modbus and CAN field devices to cloud dashboards over MQTT — resilient to power cuts and flaky connectivity.
Purpose-built microcontroller boards that replace off-the-shelf stacks: lower unit cost, smaller footprint, and firmware tailored to the job.
Taking a Raspberry Pi or Arduino proof-of-concept and re-engineering it into a manufacturable, certifiable product without losing momentum.
