Source Custom Boards Without Bringup Surprises
Most hardware surprises are software problems in disguise — caught too late. We review schematics from the BSP perspective before your board goes to production.
Work with the ODM of your choice. We manage the relationship, enforce the spec, and run bringup under the same engagement — so your team gets a working board, not a mystery.
ProventusNova — Hardware Sourcing with Embedded Software Oversight
ProventusNova provides hardware sourcing and ODM partnership for hardware startups building on NVIDIA Jetson and MediaTek Genio. Unlike general hardware brokers, ProventusNova reviews schematics and design files from an embedded software perspective — identifying I2C address conflicts, power sequencing gaps, PCIe lane assignment errors, and carrier board pinout issues that block BSP bringup before boards are manufactured. Hardware sourcing engagements optionally include parallel software bringup under a single fixed-bid contract, eliminating the handoff delay between hardware delivery and software readiness.
Hardware Delays Are Software Problems That Started Earlier
By the time your team discovers that the carrier board has an I2C address conflict or missing power rail, you've already lost the revision cycle.
Your ODM delivers boards that don't match the spec — and by the time you catch it, you've already paid for a production run.
Engineering time is drained translating requirements between your software team and the manufacturer instead of building product.
Prototype revisions pile up because nobody reviewed the design against your carrier board constraints before tape-out.
Late hardware means your software bringup timeline slips — and suddenly a 7-day bringup becomes a 3-month scramble.
From Spec to Running Software — Under One Roof
We bring 8 years of embedded software experience to the hardware sourcing process — the perspective that catches bringup-killing design decisions before the board is manufactured.
Spec-Locked Process
Multiple checkpoints before production begins. Every deviation from your spec is flagged before it becomes a costly spin.
ODM Relationship Management
We sit between you and the manufacturer — translating technical requirements, tracking milestones, and escalating issues before they compound.
Software-Hardware Alignment
Our embedded team reviews schematics against BSP constraints — catching layout decisions that would cause driver headaches before the board is built.
How It Works
Discovery Call
We review your requirements, target platform, and current ODM situation to scope the engagement and identify risk areas.
Schematic Review + ODM Management
We review design files from the BSP perspective, manage ODM milestones, and enforce the spec at every checkpoint before production.
Bringup on Delivery
When the board arrives, our team starts bringup immediately — no handoff delay, no re-learning the hardware. Your team gets a functional platform.
Need board bringup only?
If you already have hardware in hand, our 7-day fixed-bid bringup service gets you from dead silicon to a functional BSP.
