Embedded Redesign for Legacy Applications

Is your hardware reaching end-of-life or your operating system becoming obsolete? We migrate your existing applications to modern SoCs and current OS versions. The result is a future-proof product that fully retains the proven look and feel for your end users.

 

Board Support Packages for System Houses

You provide the design; we provide the software foundation. We develop comprehensive, bootable images that fully leverage all on-board features. This is the ideal solution for system houses facing tight deadlines that require a reliable basis for their own application development.

What is embedded software development?

Embedded software development involves more than just programming individual functions. In complex projects, the focus is on the reliable interaction between hardware, operating systems, drivers, interfaces, and application logic. This is precisely where SIGMA provides support in the development of low-level software for embedded systems—from board support packages and drivers to custom system integration and embedded redesign.

 

From stabilizing to modernizing existing systems

Our embedded software development is designed for companies that want to stabilize existing systems, build new platforms, or specifically modernize discontinued hardware and outdated software. We take a platform-specific and system-oriented approach—for example, with Linux- and Windows-based embedded systems, microcontroller architectures, driver development, or the adaptation of complex software to specific devices and peripherals.

Embedded Software Development with an Eye on the Overall System

Depending on the project, our embedded software development includes, among other things:

  • Hardware-oriented commissioning of new embedded systems
  • Porting and adaptation of existing software
  • Development and integration of board support packages and drivers
  • Integration of time-critical functions and peripherals
  • Development of stable interfaces between the main system, controller, and hardware

This approach results in embedded software development that not only implements individual functions but also keeps the entire embedded system in view. The result is embedded software that is robust, maintainable, and suitable for long-term use.
