Original 10-layer HDI printed circuit board with gold BGA pads

Embedded hardware & firmware

The board. The BOM. The factory file.

Hybrid circuit boards: mixed-signal, shimmer flex, foldable rigid-flex, mixed-laminate RF, 10-layer HDI. Designed in Altium, brought up on the bench, handed to any CM as Gerbers they can actually build.

Starting $10,000 CAD — a complete test PCB, size and complexity capped below.

01 / ENGINEERED AS ONE

Small boards.
Whole systems.

The shape, the signals, the software. We bring them together around the product you want to build, from the first schematic to the factory files.

ZYROBYTE / BOARD STUDIESREV. 01
Mixed-signal circuit board concept
SIGNAL / POWER / CONTROLCONCEPT VISUAL

4–6 layer typical

Two domains. One considered design.

Bring analog sensing and digital processing onto the same board. Plan the power, signal paths, and layout together, around what your product needs to measure and control.

  • Analog front-end & digital core
  • Power and grounding strategy
  • Firmware aligned with the schematic

Explore this engagement

The right material, in the right place.

Hybrid can mean a flexible connection, a mixed-material stackup, or an RF region alongside a digital core. We start with the product’s constraints and agree the construction with the fabricator.

02 / THE BOARD IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

Hardware and firmware.
On the same wavelength.

A circuit and its code belong in the same conversation. We connect schematic decisions to behavior you can observe on the bench.

THE BRING-UP BENCHMeasure. Understand.
Iterate.
01

Bring the board to life.

Rail-by-rail bring-up, peripheral checks, and firmware developed against the same schematic. Bench observations feed back into the design.

02

Build for the operating environment.

Bare-metal, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or embedded Linux. We scope the runtime, interfaces, and power behavior around the device.

03

Plan for what happens after shipping.

Diagnostics, defensive parsing, and update workflows with staged rollout and rollback, where the product requires them.

03 / A CLEAR PLACE TO START

Your first board.
Your next product.

01

Starting design engagements, with the size and complexity limits shown. Fabrication of exotic stackups is quoted with the fab. You own every file.

04 / FROM BENCH TO BUILD

A clear path.
At every stage.

Start with a prototype or bring an existing design. We agree the next milestone and what you need to review before moving forward.

  1. 01

    Prove the idea

    Dev boards, modules, and a focused prototype establish the core behavior.

    Prototype & requirements
  2. 02

    Design & bring up

    Schematic, layout, fabrication, and first-board checks connect the design to working hardware.

    Custom boards & bench findings
  3. 03

    Validate & prepare

    Functional tests, the certification path, component sourcing, and a pilot build prepare the next step.

    Validation & manufacturing review
  4. 04

    Integrate & produce

    Enclosure coordination, tooling, test fixtures, and assembly planning support the production ramp.

    Production handoff
Enclosure mold tooling concept

THE BOARD AND THE ENCLOSURE

Make the fit part of the plan.

Board STEP data meets enclosure CAD before tooling is cut. We coordinate manufacturability reviews and tooling quotes with the mold maker, based on the actual part.

05 / BUILT TO BE YOURS

Your design.
Your files.
Your next move.

A handoff your team can understand and your manufacturing partner can work with. Editable sources and production outputs, with scope agreed up front.

A BOM that travels with the design.

Manufacturer part numbers, quantities, footprints, lifecycle flags, and approved alternatives where applicable. Your purchasing team gets the context behind the components.

06 / BEFORE WE POUR COPPER

Start with
the right questions.

Tell us about your product

Yes. A prototype using development boards and off-the-shelf modules can help establish the core behavior before a custom design. Tell us what you need to prove, and we will scope that first step.

Ready for a hybrid stack?

Bring the product you have been carrying around

Tell us the envelope — fold, RF, analog, HDI. We will map it to a class and a starting rate, then propose the engagement.
