// WHO WE ARE

Canadian Expertise,
Global Impact

Based in Canada 🇨🇦 — serving clients globally

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.

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.

// WHAT WE DO

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).

RTOS MCU/SoC Bootloaders C/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.

Yocto BSP Kernel Device Tree

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.

Linux Drivers HAL Kernel Modules FPGA

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.

Architecture SoC Selection Spec Writing Co-Design

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.

LoRaWAN BLE MQTT AWS / Azure

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.

Flutter HMI Mobile UI/UX

Microsoft Power Platform

Bonus Service

Complement 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 CODEWAVE LABS

Why Choose Us

There are many embedded contractors. Here's what makes Codewave Labs different.

Yrs Experience

Senior Engineers Only

Every project is led and delivered by senior engineers with 10+ years of embedded experience. No offshore delegation, no junior handoffs.

North American

Canadian Company 🇨🇦

Work with a team in your timezone. Clear communication, Canadian legal frameworks, and billing in CAD or USD.

To-End

Full Lifecycle Ownership

From architecture to first silicon bring-up to production firmware and OTA updates — we own the full embedded software lifecycle.

Stack

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."

// HOW WE WORK

Our Process

A battle-tested engineering methodology refined across 100+ embedded projects. Predictable delivery, no surprises.

01

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 days
02

Architecture & 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 weeks
03

Agile Development

Sprint-based delivery with weekly demos. Continuous integration on real hardware. We flag blockers early — not at the deadline.

Project duration
04

Production & Handoff

Full regression testing, code review, documentation (Doxygen + wiki), manufacturing test fixtures, and a 30-day warranty period post-delivery.

2–4 weeks
Typical project kickoff within 5 business days of signed contract
