Embiox develops what makes your product unique
Most Linux-based embedded products need the same unglamorous foundations: reproducible builds, a stable Linux base, diagnostics, secure updates and visibility into software dependencies. There is little value in rebuilding all of that for every product.
Embiox develops and maintains the recurring technical parts in a shared foundation. This does not make the products the same: hardware support, product software and documentation are developed for the actual product. The foundation provides a reliable starting point that reduces technical risk and shortens the route to market.
Built around your product
Hardware integration, drivers, applications, microcontroller software, protocols and interfaces are developed for the product’s actual needs. Customer-specific code is kept separate from the shared foundation and is not reused for other customers unless agreed.
Maintained after release
After launch, Embiox can monitor dependencies and vulnerabilities, assess CVEs, maintain VEX statements, develop fixes and deliver controlled updates through an ongoing agreement.
Full visibility. Clear terms.
Customers receive the source code for the software covered by their delivery, including the product-specific parts and the shared components used in the product. The agreement sets out the rights and licences for each part. The aim is full technical insight and practical control of the delivered software without unnecessary black boxes or technical lock-in.
When the product needs to move forward
Some projects start with an idea. Others already have hardware, a prototype or products in the field. Embiox helps establish a practical technical route forward and connects the different parts of the software delivery.
New product
Make the important decisions before they become expensive to change. Establish an architecture with clear interfaces and controlled dependencies that can support the product through development, production and long-term maintenance.
From development to production
Take the product into production with reproducible builds, known dependencies and controlled test and release processes. Diagnostics and updates are designed in before launch rather than added afterwards.
Existing product
Assess or take over the code, hardware and dependencies. Preserve what works, address the technical debt that creates real cost or risk, and make the product easier to maintain, update and develop further.
How Embiox can help
Embiox can deliver the complete software scope or support your developers where specialist expertise is needed.
Embedded Linux and Raspberry Pi
Embedded Linux for products based on Raspberry Pi Compute Modules or custom hardware. The work covers Yocto, BSPs, bootloaders, drivers and hardware integration, with reproducible builds and controlled updates designed in from the start.
Applications, microcontrollers and real-time
Application software, low-level drivers, hardware interfaces and communications for Linux, microcontrollers and RTOS. This includes work where timing, performance, reliability or debugging presents particular challenges.
Build, test and release
Versioned development environments and automated build, test and release processes. A delivery should remain identifiable, reproducible and inspectable without depending on one particular machine or developer.
Updates, security and product lifetime
Secure updates using tools such as RAUC or Mender, together with signing, SBOMs and practical vulnerability handling. After release, an ongoing agreement can cover vulnerability assessment, fixes and controlled updates as the product evolves.
Already have a development team?
Embiox can also join an existing development effort with specialist expertise. Typical work includes difficult debugging, real-time and performance analysis, Yocto or build problems, code and architecture reviews, and technical debt that is blocking progress.
Not every problem requires a long engagement. When a device will not boot, a release is blocked, a product is failing in the field or a delivery is at risk, Embiox can step in for a short, focused investigation.
Workshops, training and knowledge transfer can be tailored to your product and technical environment.
From idea to product in the field
The shared foundation reduces work that would otherwise be repeated. Each customer benefits from what has already been built and maintained, while reusable improvements to the shared parts strengthen the foundation for everyone. Every delivery still starts with your product, hardware, risks and business needs.
01 · Clarify
We clarify the product, hardware, interfaces, requirements, risks and important unknowns. The result is a sound basis for decisions and a realistic scope for the work.
02 · Adapt and deliver
Embiox adapts the shared foundation and develops the product-specific parts. Build, test, documentation, release, and production are treated as parts of the same delivery.
03 · Maintain and develop
After release, Embiox can monitor the product’s software, dependencies and vulnerabilities and provide new versions, fixes, updates and maintained technical documentation.
How Embiox works
Keep the engineering understandable
Clear components and interfaces make a product easier to test, debug and change. Technical choices are guided by measurements and understood trade-offs, and material risks are made visible early.
Involve software early
Software should be considered before the hardware is locked down. This allows interfaces, testing, production, security, diagnostics and updates to be designed as parts of the same product.
Work across disciplines
Embedded software is the core discipline, but it must work with the rest of the product. Embiox can work with your developers and suppliers, involve specialists in hardware, RF, mechanics and compliance, and coordinate the technical interfaces when agreed.
Compliance starts with engineering
Reproducible builds, traceable releases, known dependencies, secure updates and a defined vulnerability process cannot be added as paperwork at the end. They have to be part of how the product is built and maintained.
The shared foundation makes much of the technical work and supporting evidence reusable. The final risk assessment, requirements, testing and documentation are always tailored to the specific product. Embiox can help establish the technical basis for compliance, including work related to the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
About Embiox
Embiox ApS is an embedded software company based near Aalborg, Denmark. It was founded in 2021 to develop complete software deliveries and remain involved beyond the first release.
The name Embiox joins emb, from embedded, with IoX, from Internet of Everything. It reflects work close to the hardware and at the interfaces between products, devices and systems.
Customers work directly with Daniel, who is normally involved in delivery. When a project requires other disciplines, Embiox can bring in relevant specialists or work with your existing suppliers. Roles and technical interfaces are agreed from the start.
Daniel Mandrup
Daniel founded Embiox and leads its technical work. He holds an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering – Networks and Distributed Systems from Aalborg University (2016) and has over ten years of embedded systems experience.
Experience that shapes the method
Embiox draws on practical work with embedded products, from initial hardware integration to software that must remain buildable, diagnosable and updateable after release.
- Embedded Linux on real hardware: Developing Linux for Raspberry Pi Compute Modules and custom hardware, including boot, drivers and integration with product electronics.
- Real-time systems and difficult failures: Developing software for microcontrollers and real-time systems, then measuring and debugging when timing, performance or reliability becomes a problem.
- Communications and integration: Connecting hardware, devices and networks through drivers, interfaces and communication protocols, with protocol analysis when faults cross system boundaries.
- From development to products in the field: Establishing reproducible development and release processes, production testing, diagnostics and controlled updates for long-lived products.
