Qualcomm Snapdragon IoT Firmware Development Services

Adequate Infosoft is an organization that connects the raw silicon of today's technology with complex user interactions through its product designs and engineering services.

We develop all types of products, starting from an initial concept with PCB Design to the final delivery of fully distributed cloud-scale solutions.

This means we provide complete lifecycles for next-generation hardware builds. Whether you need a high-performance edge computing device or a low-power industrial sensor, we can help ensure your device performs at the highest level, thanks to our extensive experience with Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms.

Snapdragon IoT Firmware Development

Our Development Ecosystem: Design and Build Hardware in One Location

Adequate Infosoft has streamlined the process of device development by eliminating the need for multiple vendors.

In the past, companies often relied on a design house for hardware, a boutique agency for firmware, and an independent software firm for app design. At Adequate Infosoft, we avoid the issue of separating vendor capabilities. Our designers and engineers work together on these products in the same building.

Advanced PCB Design & Engineering

Hardware is the "body" of your device, our engineers are experienced with high-speed digital designing, signal integrity, and thermal management.

Multi-layer PCB Design:

Expertise in boards consisting of 4-12+ layers that are designed around the requirements of the Snapdragon SoC.

RF & Antenna Tuning:

Seamless integration of 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth technologies.

Prototyping & DFM:

Using the Design for Manufacturing approach, we work to develop prototypes that can attain mass production with little to no expense associated with redesign.

Expert Firmware & Embedded Systems

Firmware is the "soul" of your product. We pride ourselves on creating low-level programming that will extract the maximum level of performance from the Qualcomm Hexagon DSP and Adreno GPU.

Real Time Operating Systems & Bare Metal:

Expertise working with FreeRTOS, Zephyr and developing Custom Bootloaders.

Kernel Optimization:

Customizing the Android Operating System (AOSP) or Linux kernels to specific use cases within industrial and consumer markets.

Power Management:

Extend the life of batteries through more advanced sleep state configuration techniques.

Industrial Casing and Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering that can handle daily use. Complete Mechanical Engineering Development Process includes:

ID (Industrial Design):

Functional and attractive casing design.

Material Science:

Find the best material (plastic, metal, or composite) to achieve an IP67/IP68 rating (meaning it is resistant to liquid and dust).

Thermal Simulation:

Ensure the Snapdragon does not overheat while operating the device.

Industrial Casing & Mechanical Design

Your product needs to survive the real world. We provide full-cycle mechanical engineering:

ID (Industrial Design):

Ergonomic and aesthetic casing designs.

Material Science:

Selecting the right plastics, metals, or composites for IP67/IP68 ruggedization.

Thermal Simulation:

Ensuring the Snapdragon's power doesn't lead to overheating.

Software to Meet Your Needs: Web/Mobile/Desktop

The way we see a device depends on the physical interaction between it and the user.

Mobile Apps: iOS/Android Applications

Native & Cross-Platform (Flutter & React Native). Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)/Wi-Fi Connection.

Desktop Dashboards:

Windows/Mac management consoles

SDKs and APIs:

Create a library for your customers to connect your hardware with their software.

Qualcomm Snapdragon: The Heart of Our Expertise

We specialize in the Qualcomm ecosystem because it represents the pinnacle of mobile and IoT processing. Our engineers have deep-dive experience with:

Category Targeted Solutions
Snapdragon Mobile 8 Gen series for high-end handhelds and edge AI.
Qualcomm IoT Series QCS and QCM chipsets for smart cameras and robotics.
Connectivity FastConnect systems for ultra-low latency Wi-Fi.
Snapdragon Ride For automotive and telematics integration.

Hire Our Hardware & Embedded Engineers

Finding a developer who understands both the "bits" and the "atoms" is rare. Our team bridges the gap between hardware engineering and high-level software architecture.

Deep Domain Knowledge

We understand the nuances of the Qualcomm Neural Processing SDK.

Agile Hardware Development

We use iterative sprints even in hardware design to reduce time-to-market.

Global Compliance

We assist in getting your product CE, FCC, and RoHS certified.

What Industry Leaders Are Searching For

In order to remain on the leading edge of technology, we focus on the following pain points and search queries presently being addressed in the IoT world:

What is the most effective way to minimize latency when working with Qualcomm’s Edge AI?

By using Qualcomm’s A.I. Stack, we can shift the processing of data from the cloud directly onto the device by taking advantage of the processors’ DSP (Digital Signal Processors), achieving sub millisecond inference for facial recognition, voice command processing, and predictive maintenance.

How do companies migrate away from legacy SoC hardware to Snapdragon IoT platforms?

Legacy hardware typically has a "performance wall" that limits its capabilities. Our full service migration support includes all aspects of porting existing firmware to Snapdragon IoT platforms and ensuring that the existing HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layers) are compatible with the new Snapdragon architecture.

How does a business establish or maintain end to end security of its IoT assets from the hardware through to the cloud?

Security must be built into your products, processes and systems as a top priority; we utilise a Hardware Root of Trust, implement secure boot sequences and deploy secured Rest API's throughout the network to help ensure that your data remains safe at every step of your IoT journey, starting from when your sensors first collect data until they are eventually stored in the database.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Do we offer mass production or only prototypes?

We provide an end-to-end solution. This includes initial PCB design and prototyping and then we manage the transition to our manufacturing partners for volume manufacturing with the added benefit of QC and testing jigs.

2. Are we able to develop custom SDKs for our third party partners?

Yes, we specialize in creating robust SDKs and REST APIs that provide other developers with tools to develop on top of your hardware platform and ultimately help you create your own ecosystem.

3. Which Qualcomm chipsets do we utilize most?

Though we handle all of them, we have experience with the Snapdragon 8 series and QCS610/410 which provides a basis for vision intelligence and we use the Wear 4100/5100 platform for wearables, as well.

4. How do we provide cloud connectivity to IoT devices?

We create a custom backend using AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, or our own private MQTT broker to ensure your devices can be updated OTA securely and reliably.
