Board Bring-Up & BSP Development
Getting a new PCB working from first power-on to running application firmware
First power-on to fully verified hardware — methodically and without surprises.
What This Service
Actually Covers
A new PCB arriving from the fab is just the start. Board bring-up is a structured process of power sequencing verification, clock configuration, peripheral validation, and driver development. We build the Board Support Package (BSP) that forms the foundation of all firmware above it — and we document every peripheral so your team can maintain it.

How We Approach
This Service
A clear, structured methodology tailored specifically to this engagement.
Power & Clock Verification
Verify all supply rails, current draw at power-on, clock frequencies, and reset behaviour with instruments.
Debug Interface & Console Bring-Up
Establish the debug probe connection, load a minimal firmware, and get a UART console running.
Peripheral Validation
Systematically validate each peripheral with loopback tests, logic analyser captures, and known-good test firmware.
BSP Delivery & Handover
Deliver the complete BSP with device drivers, bring-up procedure document, and hardware errata notes.
Ideal For
Teams receiving first-article PCB prototypes that need systematic bringup and a solid BSP before application firmware development begins.
What You Receive
Verified BSP with peripheral drivers, bring-up procedure document, hardware errata report, and debug toolchain setup guide.
