An embedded systems development company that also owns the firmware, from schematic to shipped board.
An embedded product development company for teams who need hardware and firmware scoped as one build: bare-metal and RTOS firmware, wireless stacks, secure OTA and custom drivers — paired with the hardware it runs on. Engineering team based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, building for clients primarily in the US.
Embedded firmware & hardware development services
One team scoping the board and the code that runs on it together — not a firmware vendor and a hardware vendor working from separate assumptions.

Industries we've proven embedded firmware development in
Real embedded firmware and hardware builds.
Pulled from our case-study library — same AI/human split shown in full, industry context included.
Smart Wearable Ring
US-based consumer-health / wearable technology startupA compact smart ring captures physiological and activity data under extremely tight constraints on size, power, wireless connectivity and sensor integration.
On-Device Early Fall-Detection Wearable
US-based aging-in-place / digital-health wearable startupA wearable analyzes motion data locally to identify movement patterns associated with potential falls, without continuously transmitting raw sensor data to the cloud.
EV Battery-Pack Thermal Monitoring Module
US-based EV / battery technology companyA distributed monitoring module captures thermal conditions across an EV battery pack and flags abnormal temperature behavior for battery-management systems.
What people ask before scoping embedded firmware development.
What does embedded firmware development at Rivix include?
Bare-metal and RTOS firmware, custom peripheral drivers, board bring-up, wireless stacks (BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, Zigbee, cellular), signed OTA update pipelines, power profiling/battery-life tuning, and embedded Linux board support where a device is gateway-class — scoped against the hardware it runs on, not in isolation.
Do you handle both the hardware and the firmware?
Yes. Schematic capture, PCB layout, component sourcing and DFM review sit in the same engagement as the firmware that runs on the board, so timing, power and driver decisions get made together instead of across two vendors.
Which RTOS and wireless stacks do you work with?
FreeRTOS, Zephyr and bare-metal on the RTOS side; BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, Zigbee and cellular on connectivity, chosen against your power and range constraints rather than by default. When a device is gateway- or compute-class rather than coin-cell, we take the same work to embedded Linux — board support, kernel and driver work, and the update path on top.
Where is the engineering team based?
Our embedded engineering team is based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, working with clients primarily in the US.
Can you take over firmware or a board someone else started?
Yes. We audit the existing schematic, layout and firmware, flag the risks, and either harden it or re-spin the sections that need it — we don't force a full restart by default.
Can you extend battery life on an existing product?
Yes — power profiling and firmware-level tuning is a common standalone engagement when hardware is already locked.
