Frequently Asked Questions

What engineers ask about the audit

01How does the architecture audit process work?

Four steps: (1) we collect your platform and bottleneck details via the form, (2) within 48 hours our engineering team signs an NDA and schedules a discovery call, (3) we review your current architecture together — BSP, RTOS configuration, data pipeline, (4) you receive a written assessment with measurable risks and prioritized optimizations.

02Do you sign an NDA before the audit?

Yes. Every engagement is NDA-first: a mutual non-disclosure agreement is signed before any technical detail is shared, and each project lives in an isolated repository and environment.

03Which RTOS and operating systems do you support?

TI-RTOS, FreeRTOS and Zephyr among RTOSes; Yocto (Kirkstone/Scarthgap) and Buildroot embedded Linux; PREEMPT_RT real-time Linux and bare-metal (CMSIS/HAL) architectures. The assessment targets your silicon — NXP i.MX, NVIDIA Jetson, TI Sitara/Jacinto, STM32, Hailo.

04How do you verify real-time performance claims?

With hardware-based measurement instead of software timestamps: GPIO toggle + oscilloscope, at least 10,000 samples, worst-case and P99 reporting. Example outcome: worst-case IRQ latency reduced from 38.7µs to 4.2µs on TI AM6442, with σ 0.3µs jitter — raw data available on request.

05Do you support regulatory requirements such as SIL 2/3 or IEC 62443?

Yes — architectural partitioning for functional safety, IEC 62443-compliant network segmentation, and early integration of IEC 62304 / ISO 26262 compliance processes are part of the audit scope. We don't issue certifications; we build architectures ready for certification.

06What is the audit deliverable?

A written technical report: identified bottlenecks (with measurement methodology), risky architectural decisions, a prioritized optimization roadmap and — on request — an effort estimate for implementation. The report is yours; there is no obligation to continue.
