We program computing hardware to solve problems.
Hamaranth is an embedded systems consultancy.
We help you develop products that use dedicated hardware, at any stage of your product lifecycle. We’re focused on building extensible and dependable technology that you can rely on to achieve your goals.
Here’s where we can help.
Project Initiation and Prototyping
Much of the time, it’s unclear what avenues are available to pursue a given problem. We’ll help you figure out the best way forward.
We work with you to understand your needs. From that, we’ll help propose and evaluate solutions, walking through the benefits and drawbacks of the differing approaches.
According to your project’s needs, we’ll build prototypes to demonstrate core functionality, help prove or disprove ideas, enable software development, and reduce the risk in product development.
Firmware Architecture and Development
We design and organize software into components that are easily tested, extensible, and provide a reliable base for your product functionality. We’ll also help write or automate your product’s unit, integration, and system tests.
We are able to assist you with roadmapping, scoping, and estimating firmware development efforts. We are comfortable taking the lead or augmenting your internal team in order to execute more quickly.
From fundamental peripheral drivers and bootloaders to user interfaces, we design and write the code that makes your product work.
Hardware Design Support
We’re happy to dive as deep as necessary to debug, understand, and fix low-level issues involving hardware.
We’ll design electronics or collaborate with your hardware team to ensure your product will be able to do what it needs to at the proper price point and form factor. We’ll also bring up and test new hardware comprehensively to ensure it works as designed.
This is not all we know, though - if you have any questions, send us an email!
We do many things. These are our specialties.
Power Optimization
We’re seasoned in using benchtop measurement tools and software to profile power consumption.
We measure, profile, and refine your product’s power usage, iterating until your it works at as low of a power usage as needed.
Sensor Processing and Algorithms
We’ll also gladly assist with offline algorithm investigation and developing the data collection software needed to fuel it.
We bring up sensor interfaces in order to measure signals effectively, and also help implement algorithms to transform raw signals into the data you’re interested in.
Connectivity
We have particular experience in Bluetooth Low Energy, WiFi, and LTE.
We incorporate and optimize wireless and wired protocols in order to have your product work with the outside world.
Cloud / IoT Integration
HTTPS and MQTT see common use, but we can work with what you need!
We integrate commonly used authentication schemes and data transfer protocols to link embedded devices with cloud providers and APIs. We’ll can help design the interface details for your product.
Device and Data Security
In other words: we’ll help you incorporate industry standard encryption and authentication schemes into your product.
We help protect your product’s data from interception or tampering, and prevent bad actors from being able to control or interfere with it’s functionality.
Testing and Test Automation
We’ll develop unit testing, software integration tests, and automated end-to-end tests with hardware in the loop.
We integrate automated testing, both in software and using the hardware, to ensure your product’s functionality can be qualified after software changes.
We’d love to meet you.
We’re just getting started, and love making new contacts. Drop a message via email and we’ll get back to you!
