From bare-metal firmware to full Linux BSP and cloud-connected IoT platforms — Codewave Labs delivers production-grade embedded solutions trusted by engineering teams across Canada and beyond.
Canadian Expertise,
Global Impact
Codewave Labs is a boutique Canadian embedded systems and firmware consulting firm. We work with hardware startups, scale-ups, and enterprise engineering teams to build production-ready embedded software that ships on time. We are proud members of the EE Times and Linux Foundation embedded engineering community.
Our consultants bring deep hands-on experience across the full embedded stack — from writing bare-metal C on ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers to building Yocto-based Linux BSPs for custom SoMs and deploying end-to-end IoT platforms at scale.
North American timezone, direct communication, clear contracts.
Our Services
End-to-end embedded engineering — from low-level firmware to cloud-connected IoT platforms. Every engagement is led by a senior engineer, not delegated to juniors.
Firmware Development
Custom firmware for microcontrollers, SoCs and embedded processors. RTOS integration, bootloader development, low-power optimisation, and safety-critical coding standards (MISRA C, CERT C).
Embedded Linux & Yocto
Full Yocto Project BSPs from scratch or on top of vendor layers. Kernel configuration and patching, U-Boot, device tree authoring, and minimal custom distro builds optimised for your hardware.
Device Driver Development
Linux kernel modules and character/block drivers for custom peripherals. I²C, SPI, UART, USB, PCIe and custom FPGA interfaces. HAL design and platform driver architecture.
System Architecture
Hardware-software co-design, system partitioning, SoC/SoM selection, memory and storage architecture, communication bus design, and full technical specifications ready for your hardware team.
IoT Solutions
End-to-end IoT platforms: edge firmware → gateway middleware → cloud backend. Wi-Fi, BLE, LoRaWAN, LTE-M, NB-IoT. AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, MQTT broker design, OTA update systems.
Flutter for Devices
Cross-platform companion apps and embedded display UIs using Flutter. Beautiful, responsive interfaces for industrial HMIs, IoT dashboards, and mobile companion apps.
Microsoft Power Platform
Bonus ServiceComplement your embedded systems with intelligent business automation. We build Power Apps for field technicians, Power Automate workflows for device data pipelines, and Power BI dashboards for real-time embedded telemetry visualisation.
Why Choose Us
There are many embedded contractors. Here's what makes Codewave Labs different.
Senior Engineers Only
Every project is led and delivered by senior engineers with 10+ years of embedded experience. No offshore delegation, no junior handoffs.
Canadian Company 🇨🇦
Work with a team in your timezone. Clear communication, Canadian legal frameworks, and billing in CAD or USD.
Full Lifecycle Ownership
From architecture to first silicon bring-up to production firmware and OTA updates — we own the full embedded software lifecycle.
Full Stack Embedded
We cover bare-metal, RTOS, Linux BSP, middleware, cloud connectivity and companion apps. One team, no gaps.
"Codewave Labs took our hardware prototype and delivered production-ready Yocto BSP and firmware in 8 weeks. Their deep Linux kernel expertise saved us months of bring-up time. We'd hire them again without hesitation."
Our Tech Stack
Decades of combined experience across the full embedded software spectrum.
Our Process
A battle-tested engineering methodology refined across 100+ embedded projects. Predictable delivery, no surprises.
Discovery & Scoping
We audit your hardware, review schematics and existing code, interview your team, and produce a detailed Statement of Work with fixed milestones.
1–3 daysArchitecture & Design
System partitioning, technology selection, driver architecture, API design, and a full Technical Design Document before a single line of code is written.
1–2 weeksAgile Development
Sprint-based delivery with weekly demos. Continuous integration on real hardware. We flag blockers early — not at the deadline.
Project durationProduction & Handoff
Full regression testing, code review, documentation (Doxygen + wiki), manufacturing test fixtures, and a 30-day warranty period post-delivery.
2–4 weeksCase Studies
Real projects, real results. See how we've helped engineering teams ship faster.
