Drivers & board bring-up
Low-level drivers and hardware abstraction — clocks, GPIO, ADC, SPI, I²C, CAN, LIN — and first bring-up of new ECU boards.
Hand-written automotive firmware — where production C/C++ is engineered for the target, not generated from a model.
Not every automotive function can — or should — be model-generated. Low-level drivers, bootloaders, communication stacks, diagnostic routines, and timing-critical control loops are still written by hand, in C and C++, close to the silicon. This is where deep target knowledge, disciplined coding standards, and careful resource management decide whether an ECU is robust or fragile.
At Proaktive Services, we deliver hand-written embedded software for automotive ECUs — from bring-up on a fresh board to production-ready firmware that meets MISRA, functional-safety, and ASPICE expectations. We work alongside our model-based, AUTOSAR, and hardware teams, so the firmware is designed with the whole system in mind.
Low-level drivers and hardware abstraction — clocks, GPIO, ADC, SPI, I²C, CAN, LIN — and first bring-up of new ECU boards.
Secure and reliable bootloaders, flash programming, and over-the-air or diagnostic-based firmware update strategies.
Application firmware on RTOS or bare-metal — task design, scheduling, interrupt handling, and deterministic timing.
On-target debugging, communication and diagnostics integration, memory and runtime optimization, MISRA-aligned C/C++.
Our engineers bring practical experience across the leading toolchains:
Engineers comfortable reading a datasheet and a schematic — not just an API. Real board bring-up experience, not only application code.
Our embedded team sits next to our MBD, AUTOSAR, and hardware engineers — firmware designed for the whole ECU, not in isolation.
MISRA-aligned C/C++, version control, code review, and ISO 26262-aware practices are how we work — not an audit-time afterthought.
