Design and layout of circuit boards for embedded systems, from concept through production-ready schematics. We work with modern EDA tools and understand signal integrity, thermal management, and manufacturing constraints.

• Schematic design and circuit optimization
• PCB layout with attention to power distribution and signal routing
• Component selection and sourcing guidance
• Prototype fabrication coordination and testing
• Embedded software development and testing support

Design and refinement of Linux-based systems, including boot flows, storage layouts, network topology, and service orchestration. We emphasize clarity, observability, and maintainability.

• Server and VM layout, PXE and network boot
• Service decomposition and dependency mapping
• Configuration management and documentation

Components that sit close to hardware: bootstrapping, device interaction, and constrained environments. We work with C/C++, scripting, and build systems that target embedded and edge platforms.

• Board bring-up and tooling around firmware workflows
• Utility components for embedded Linux and microcontroller ecosystems
• Prototyping and proof-of-concept implementations

Reproducible infrastructure for development and operations: from local labs to small-scale cloud environments. We prefer declarative, version-controlled workflows.

• Automated provisioning (e.g., Proxmox, containers, VMs)
• Build pipelines for images, templates, and artifacts
• Backup, sync, and environment reconstruction scripts

Hexword.ca offers selected components under commercial terms, and can extend or adapt them for specific environments. This is suitable for teams that need predictable behavior and long-term support.

• Licensing of existing components with support SLAs
• Custom integrations and feature extensions
• Private repositories and delivery workflows
