Embedded Systems Modernization for a Connected Consumer Electronics Brand

December 2, 2025

Client

A leading global consumer electronics brand specializing in smart, connected home devices.

Client Background

The client manufactures millions of smart home devices used globally. Their embedded firmware was aging, fragmented across product lines, and lacked modern security and update capabilities—impacting device performance and brand trust.

Client Challenge

The company struggled with outdated embedded firmware that could not support new features, OTA updates, advanced security controls, or seamless connectivity. Engineering teams managed multiple firmware codebases, causing inconsistencies and long release cycles.
Security vulnerabilities were difficult to patch due to limited firmware update mechanisms. Product teams lacked the ability to remotely monitor device performance or diagnose errors. As competition grew, feature innovation slowed, and customer complaints increased. A complete embedded engineering overhaul was urgently required.

Xevyte Solution

Xevyte redesigned the client’s embedded architecture by standardizing firmware stacks across device families and building a secure, modular firmware platform. OTA firmware update mechanisms were engineered with encrypted delivery and rollback support.
We implemented a lightweight IoT OS, improved memory management, optimized drivers, and enhanced communication protocols (BLE, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Thread). A cloud-based telemetry engine was integrated to deliver real-time device health insights.
Rigorous security engineering included hardened bootloaders, secure microcontroller configurations, and encryption protocols aligned with global standards.
