← All Lab FeaturesController Categories

Build, recover and manufacture

Production Firmware Pro

Turn prototype code into testable, versioned and recoverable firmware with traceable device identity and manufacturing evidence.

Architecture

Non-Blocking Firmware Architecture

Replace long delays and blocking I/O with deadlines, events, bounded work and observable task health.

Open production lab →
Architecture

State-Machine Design and Validation

Model operating modes, events, transitions, guards and timeouts explicitly.

Open production lab →
RTOS

FreeRTOS Task and Queue Design

Partition work into bounded tasks with queues, ownership, priorities and measurable stack margins.

Open production lab →
Reliability

Watchdog Configuration and Recovery

Configure watchdog coverage so a stalled critical path resets safely and records a useful cause.

Open production lab →
Power

Deep Sleep and Battery Optimisation

Measure active/sleep current, duty cycle and wake reliability to estimate realistic battery life.

Open production lab →
Release

Semantic Firmware Versioning

Create traceable semantic versions, build identifiers and hardware compatibility rules.

Open production lab →
OTA

OTA Update Pipeline

Download, authenticate, stage and confirm firmware without replacing the known-good image prematurely.

Open production lab →
OTA

Automatic Rollback and Recovery

Return to confirmed firmware when the candidate crashes, fails health checks or misses confirmation.

Open production lab →
Security

Secure Boot Planning

Establish a vendor-supported chain of trust from immutable boot code to signed application images.

Open production lab →
Security

Flash Encryption Planning

Protect code and sensitive data at rest using the MCU vendor’s supported encryption lifecycle.

Open production lab →
Security

Encrypted Configuration Storage

Store credentials and configuration with authenticated encryption, schema versioning and safe update semantics.

Open production lab →
Lifecycle

Factory Reset and Recovery

Return user configuration to a defined state without accidentally destroying required manufacturing identity.

Open production lab →
Manufacturing

Device Provisioning Workflow

Create a unique, auditable device identity and inject only the minimum required configuration.

Open production lab →
Identity

Serial Numbers and Hardware Revisions

Maintain stable device identity and explicit compatibility across board changes.

Open production lab →
Manufacturing

Calibration Record Management

Store traceable calibration coefficients with units, method, date, equipment and integrity protection.

Open production lab →
Manufacturing

Manufacturing Self-Test

Run deterministic fixture tests and produce a per-device pass/fail record before packing.

Open production lab →
Diagnostics

Diagnostic Export and Service Bundle

Export useful health evidence while removing credentials, personal data and raw cryptographic material.

Open production lab →
Release

Production-Readiness Release Gate

Require evidence for architecture, security, recovery, manufacturing and support before approving release.
