Embedded Firmware Development in Pakistan

Firmware written by engineers who also lay out the boards it runs on - so the drivers you get were tested against real silicon, not against the reference application. RTOS, bare metal or embedded Linux, chosen for the constraint the product actually meets.

Serving Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad and export-oriented clients. Australian-registered engineering firm (Incendio Solutions Pty Ltd) delivering to Pakistan-market pricing and export-standard quality. See the Australian practice page for the full technical scope this mirrors.

Scope

What firmware development covers - and what it doesn't.

Firmware is the software that runs on the silicon inside your product. It is judged by how it behaves under real timing budgets, real power budgets, and real field conditions - not by feature checklists. We treat firmware as a systems discipline: the interrupt architecture, the update path and the failure modes matter as much as the features.

In scope

  • RTOS integration (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, Azure RTOS, NuttX)
  • Bare-metal firmware for tight-loop control and ultra-low-power designs
  • Embedded Linux systems: Yocto, Buildroot, kernel and device-tree work
  • Peripheral drivers: SPI, I2C, CAN, industrial protocols, custom radio ICs
  • Secure boot, signed OTA updates, rollback and A/B partitioning
  • Production test firmware and factory calibration flows
  • Power management: sleep-mode architectures, wake sources, coin-cell budgets
  • Firmware brought up on our own PCB designs or on your existing hardware

Honestly out of scope

  • Pure application-layer software with no device behind it
  • Custom RTOS kernel authoring (we integrate proven ones)
  • Silicon validation or IP-core verification
  • Ongoing IT/DevOps for cloud services (we hand off to a runtime team)

Pricing (Pakistan)

Pakistan-market rates, Australian engineering standard.

PKR 300k-1.5M for bounded firmware on existing hardware; PKR 1.5M-6M for a full firmware stack; PKR 3M-10M+ for firmware with secure boot, OTA and certification support. USD engagements for outsourcing clients priced against US/EU rates minus PK cost differential.

All programs begin with a paid discovery week (typically PKR 100k-300k depending on scope) producing a written architecture, budget range and named risks - the same discovery output the Australian side delivers, tailored for Pakistan-market context.

Not currently. We are an Australian-registered engineering studio (Incendio Solutions Pty Ltd, Melbourne) serving Pakistani manufacturers, startups and export-oriented clients remotely and via periodic travel. The engineering standard, IP-transfer terms and contract law are Australian; the pricing is set for the Pakistan market. If a real Pakistan entity is required for your procurement process, we will say so.
Local manufacturers modernising their operations, technology startups building for domestic and export markets, and export-services teams delivering to overseas clients under our engineering standard. We are honest about not being an on-site team; the model is remote-first with scheduled travel when it materially improves the program.
PKR-denominated invoicing for Pakistan-domiciled clients through licensed remittance channels; USD-denominated invoicing for export-oriented engagements where the client is billing in USD themselves. All invoicing complies with SBP requirements.
PSQCA for domestic Pakistan-market products; CE and FCC for export markets we design towards. We work with Pakistan-based test-house partners for local certification runs where needed.
Yes, where the client wants a hybrid delivery model - our Australian team owns architecture and quality, Pakistan-based partners handle specific delivery streams. We disclose the split up-front and stay accountable for the whole program regardless of who executes each part.
