Does your electronic system need high-performance firmware?
Whether you are developing a new product or upgrading an existing system, embedded software is at the heart of performance:
➔ Firmware development or optimization
➔ Integration of sensors and modules
➔ Communication between systems (BLE/LoRaWAN, Zigbee, etc.)
➔ Real-time operating system (RTOS)
➔ Need for embedded intelligence (Edge AI)
Poorly designed software can limit the performance of the entire product.
Our areas of expertise
Rivinnov develops embedded software tailored to your product architecture and industrial constraints. We work on:
Firmware , drivers, real-time management, state machines, real time using FreeRTOS or Zephyr, memory and power consumption optimization. We know how to fit a complete application into less than 256 KB of flash memory when the hardware budget requires it.
Embedded Linux porting to ARM boards, Buildroot or Yocto customization, kernel drivers, application services, secure system update.
Connectivity and IoT: BLE, LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi, LTE-M/NB-IoT, MQTT, proprietary protocols. Provisioning, reconnection, network loss management — the part that always breaks in production if not handled seriously.
Edge AI (Embedded AI): Anomaly detection, signal classification, pattern recognition, executed on a microcontroller with TensorFlow Lite Micro or in-house optimized models. Latency of a few milliseconds, no data sent to the cloud—a key advantage in healthcare, defense, and industry.
Remote updates and secure OTA lifecycle, bootloader with rollback, versioning, telemetry. A connected product that cannot be updated is a product that cannot be fixed.
Reliable, high-performance and scalable embedded software.
From bare-metal to cloud, with the same team
Edge AI integration
We integrate advanced algorithms directly into your embedded systems:
-
Real-time signal processing
-
Embedded data analysis
-
Machine learning on microcontrollers and embedded systems
-
Optimizing local performance (without cloud dependency)
-
A key technology for innovative products in IoT, healthcare, industry, or robotics.
Software designed to integrate into a complete product
Firmware cannot be developed in isolation. Rivinnov works in conjunction with:
-
Onboard electronics
-
Prototyping
-
The constraints of industrialization
A comprehensive approach to ensure system consistency.
Software testing and validation
We guarantee the quality and reliability of the embedded software:
-
Debugging and error correction
-
Performance optimization
-
Validation of behavior under real-world conditions
-
System stability and robustness
A firmware that runs continuously for several weeks without restarting, not a demo that lasts ten minutes.

FAQ
Simple firmware—sensor acquisition, local logic, and serial communication—typically starts at around €8,000 to €12,000. Connected firmware with a BLE or LoRa stack, OTA updates, and power management generally ranges from €15,000 to €40,000. Embedded AI typically adds another €10,000 to €25,000, depending on the availability of training data.
Yes. We begin with a 3- to 5-day code audit to assess the technical debt, identify risks, and estimate the work required going forward. This is a common approach when taking over an existing development project or preparing a product for its next stage of evolution.
Yes, for targeted applications such as vibration anomaly detection, sound identification, sensor signal classification, and person or gesture recognition. A quantized model typically fits within a few tens to a few hundreds of kilobytes and can run in just a few milliseconds on a Cortex-M4 or Cortex-M7 microcontroller. Processing remains entirely on the device, eliminating network latency, cloud costs, and the need to transmit data outside the product.
Yes. Provide us with the schematics and an existing board, and we’ll develop on that platform. If we identify a blocking hardware issue, we’ll let you know before development begins—not halfway through the project.
We offer an annual maintenance agreement covering bug fixes, dependency updates, and minor feature enhancements.
