Davis Software Consulting

Embedded Systems Software Consulting & Services 

Solutions for Microprocessor & Microcontroller Architectures 

In the world of embedded engineering, the bridge between hardware and software is where projects succeed or fail. I provide specialized contract engineering services to help companies navigate complex board bring-ups, OS porting, and embedded application development. 

Whether you are working with Off-the-Shelf (COTS) platforms or developing Custom Hardware, I offer the technical depth to accelerate your roadmap. 

Technical Service Areas 

🛠️ Hardware Enablement & Board Bring-Up 

I specialize in the critical “first-light” phase of development. 

  • Board Bring-Up: Hardware validation and low-level software integration. 
  • BSP Development: Custom Board Support Packages tailored to your peripherals. 
  • Boot Code & Porting: Modification of bootloaders (U-Boot, Linux Kernel, etc.). 

🐧 OS Porting

Getting an Operating System running on your new hardware shouldn’t be a bottleneck. 

  • Operating System Porting: Migrating Embedded Linux and other Embedded Operating Systems (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr, etc.) to your hardware. 
  • Driver Development: Creating the interface between your OS and unique hardware components. 

🚀 Application & Prototyping 

From the initial idea to the production-ready binary. 

  • Proof-of-Concept (PoC): Rapidly proving feasibility for stakeholders or investors. 
  • Embedded Applications: Developing PoC application code. 
  • Modern Toolchains: Leveraging open-source and leading-edge development tools to ensure maintainable, industry-standard code. 

Why Hire a Specialist? 

  • Immediate Impact: Skip the learning curve. I bring expertise in modern toolchains and diverse architectures (i.e., ARM Cortex-A series, ARM Cortex-M series) from day one. 
  • Flexible Engagement: Available for short-term troubleshooting, specific project milestones, or architectural guidance. 
  • Direct Communication: Work directly with the develper making the decisions, ensuring your technical requirements are met without the “agency” overhead.
