Accelerating Silicon Innovation. From Architecture to Adoption.

Your Strategic Partner for Comprehensive Semiconductor Development Support—Enabling Faster Tape-outs and Dominant Market Entry.

 Modern Silicon

Navigating the Complexities of Modern Silicon

The semiconductor landscape is more competitive and complex than ever. With the slowdown of Moore's Law, innovation is shifting towards domain-specific architectures, heterogeneous integration, and advanced packaging. For silicon vendors, the challenge is no longer just about designing a powerful chip; it's about delivering a complete, market-ready solution. This means providing robust software, feature-rich evaluation kits (EVKs), and a seamless development experience for your customers. The pressure to "shift-left" and validate software long before silicon availability is immense.

At Embien, we are deeply embedded in this ecosystem. We provide expert semiconductor development services designed to augment your internal teams and accelerate every phase of the silicon lifecycle. From pre-fabrication firmware validation to post-silicon ecosystem enablement, we help you mitigate risks, reduce development cycles, and ensure your groundbreaking hardware achieves rapid market adoption.

The Embien Advantage - Your Embedded Engineering Powerhouse

Deep Pre- and Post-Silicon Expertise

Deep Pre- and Post-Silicon Expertise

Our team has decades of experience working with all major architectures, from 8-bit MCUs to complex multi-core SoCs and FPGAs. We are adept at early-stage software bring-up on emulators and FPGA prototypes, and we excel at developing production-grade firmware, BSPs, and drivers once the silicon is in hand. We speak your language.

End-Application and Ecosystem Focus

End-Application and Ecosystem Focus

We understand that a chip's success is measured by its adoption. Our rich, cross-domain expertise in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics means we build EVKs, SoMs, and reference designs that resonate with your target customers. We don't just write code; we build the tools that empower your entire customer ecosystem.

Unmatched Market Acceleration

Unmatched Market Acceleration

As your one-stop design partner, we streamline the entire process. By handling everything from carrier board design and BSP development to secure boot implementation and application stack porting, we enable your software and hardware tracks to run in parallel, dramatically cutting down the time from design-win to revenue.

Pre-Silicon Validation & Software Bring-Up

Gain a critical head start. We work with your architecture teams to develop validation firmware and bring up operating systems on pre-silicon platforms like emulators and FPGAs. This early-stage bring-up allows you to debug hardware, develop drivers, and port applications long before tape-out, ensuring your software is ready on day one.
  • Pre-Silicon Validation Firmware
  • FPGA Prototyping and Emulation Support
  • Early Device Driver & Peripheral Validation

 Hardware Platform Development

Hardware Platform Development (EVK, SoM, Reference Designs)

Empower your customers. We design and develop high-quality, production-ready Evaluation Kits, System-on-Modules, and carrier boards. Our designs showcase the full potential of your silicon, featuring a wide range of peripherals and interfaces (CAN-FD, BroadR-Reach, MOST) tailored to your target markets.
  • Evaluation Kit (EVK) Development
  • System-on-Module (SoM) & SBC Designs
  • Application-Specific Reference Designs

Firmware, BSP & OS Porting

Build a rock-solid software foundation. Our team are experts in porting and optimizing Board Support Packages (BSPs) for any OS, including Linux, Android, QNX, and RTOSes. We develop robust device drivers, protocol stacks, and firmware that unlock the full performance and feature set of your silicon.
  • BSP & OS Porting (Linux, Android, QNX, RTOS)
  • Custom Device Driver Development
  • Protocol Stack Integration & Development
