Embedded systems are the dedicated hardware and software that quietly power the devices around us, from automotive control units and industrial controllers to medical equipment, smart meters and connected consumer products. They have to be reliable, power-efficient, secure and deterministic, often for many years in the field.
HLS Solutions delivers end-to-end embedded systems engineering, covering hardware design, firmware, real-time operating systems, embedded Linux and IoT connectivity. We work with OEMs and product companies from the first concept through prototyping, validation, production support and long-term maintenance.

OEM Solutions
We act as an extended engineering team for OEMs, taking ownership of product design and development so you can focus on your market. Whether you need a new product built from scratch or an existing design re-engineered, we align with your specifications, timelines and compliance requirements.
- Requirement analysis & system architecture
- Prototyping, validation & testing
- Product re-engineering, porting & obsolescence management
- Production support & lifecycle maintenance
Firmware Development
Firmware is the layer that brings hardware to life. Our engineers write clean, optimized and well-documented embedded C/C++ code that makes the best use of limited memory, processing power and energy budgets.
- Bootloaders, board support packages (BSP) & device drivers
- Communication stacks: UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, Ethernet
- Over-the-air (OTA) firmware update support
- Low-power optimization, debugging & code reviews
RTOS Solutions
When timing is critical, a real-time operating system provides predictable, deterministic task scheduling. We design multi-tasking embedded applications that respond within strict deadlines.
- FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX & other RTOS porting
- Task, interrupt, queue & semaphore design
- Middleware integration & memory management
- Real-time performance analysis & tuning
IoT Devices
We build connected devices that securely collect data at the edge and deliver it to the cloud and to your mobile and web applications, giving you a complete device-to-cloud solution.
- Sensor integration, data acquisition & edge processing
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth / BLE, LoRa, Zigbee & cellular connectivity
- MQTT / HTTP cloud integration & device management
- Device security, dashboards & companion mobile apps
Hardware Solutions
Good embedded products start with good hardware. We take designs from schematic to a manufacturable board, with attention to signal integrity, power management and cost.
- Schematic design & multi-layer PCB layout
- Component selection & power supply design
- Board bring-up, testing & debugging
- Design for manufacturing & testability
Embedded Linux Solutions
For richer devices that need networking, graphics, file systems and a large software ecosystem, we build tailored embedded Linux platforms that are lean, stable and maintainable.
- Yocto / Buildroot custom Linux distributions
- Kernel customization, device tree & driver development
- U-Boot bootloader & BSP porting
- Application development & boot-time optimization
Automotive Industry
Modern vehicles run on dozens of electronic control units. We support automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers with embedded software and testing that meet the sector's demands for safety and quality.
- ECU software development & integration
- CAN, LIN & automotive Ethernet communication
- Infotainment, telematics & vehicle connectivity
- Diagnostics, validation & ECU test automation
Microcontroller Solutions
From simple controllers to high-performance 32-bit devices, we select the right microcontroller for your product and build reliable, cost-effective systems around it.
- ARM Cortex-M, STM32, PIC, AVR, ESP32 & 8051 families
- Peripheral interfacing: ADC, DAC, PWM, timers, GPIO
- Motor control, displays, sensors & actuators
- Controller selection, migration & optimization
