Embedded Firmware
Firmware is where product experience lives. We build production-grade embedded software — connectivity, power management and signed OTA — that stays reliable for years in the field.

Why Tekt
Reliable in the field, updatable for a decade
Demo firmware and product firmware are different disciplines. Ours is engineered for the full lifecycle: defensive architectures on RTOS or bare metal, automated hardware-in-the-loop test, and secure update pipelines that let the product improve long after it leaves the line.
Fliteboard’s connected control system runs on firmware disciplines our team still maintains and evolves today — years and thousands of units after first shipment.
How we deliver
Unique value, end to end
Architecture for longevity
Modular firmware designed to outlive silicon revisions and feature roadmaps.
Test as infrastructure
Automated HIL rigs run every release against real hardware before it ships.
Secure by default
Signed images, encrypted transport and safe rollback on every update path.
Case studies
Case studies
Real programs from this practice — the brief, the engineering approach, and where it landed.
- Case study 01 · Flite
Marine control firmware at fleet scale
Fliteboard’s handset, Flitebox and board firmware run a low-latency, waterproof Bluetooth LE control loop. Years of releases later, the same disciplines carry every update to riders in 80+ countries.
- Case study 02 · Petminda
Connected pet-pod platform
Petminda’s pods coordinate access control, cleaning cycles and app connectivity in public environments. We built the embedded platform that keeps every pod safe, monitored and updateable in the field.
- Case study 03 · Telstra
Ultra-low-power cellular IoT
For Telstra’s IoT Development Kit we engineered CAT-M1/NB-IoT firmware foundations that let enterprise developers ship stable, low-power cellular devices without reinventing the radio stack.
What we solve
Problems this practice removes
- Field failures that only reproduce at 2am
- Update mechanisms that can brick devices
- Battery life that dies in review
- Inherited codebases nobody dares touch
