Functional safety engineering
02 Functional Safety

Safety by design,
certified by process.

Emirates Automation has delivered functional safety projects for Microchip Technology. We work within ISO 26262 — the international standard for automotive E/E system safety — covering the full V-model lifecycle.

Every safety requirement is traceable from concept through validation, with HARA, ASIL classification, FSC, TSC, and confirmation reviews handled systematically.

RTOS Embedded Linux code
05 Zephyr RTOS / Embedded Linux

Where OS meets silicon.

Emirates Automation executed Zephyr RTOS driver development for Microchip — adding entirely new microcontrollers to Zephyr's official support list. This demands deep expertise in device tree, SoC integration, pin control, clock configuration, and build infrastructure.

Our SAMD11 Zephyr integration covers the full pipeline: from SoC DTS files and Kconfig to driver implementation, flash/boot integration, and blinky-to-production verification using west build / west flash.

Silicon chip semiconductor validation
06 Post Silicon Validation

Validating chips before
the world sees them.

We provide validation services for semiconductor companies — ensuring microcontrollers and SoCs meet their specifications before mass production. Long-standing engagement with Microchip Technology across multiple business units.

Peripheral Validation

Verifying every peripheral block — ADC, DAC, timers, comm interfaces — against silicon specification across voltage, temperature, and frequency corners.

Functional Test Suites

Building comprehensive test frameworks that systematically exercise silicon at all operating corners and boundary conditions.

Defect Characterisation

Identifying, reproducing, and root-causing silicon bugs — providing detailed engineering reports to chip design teams.

Client Engagement

Long-standing multi-BU engagement with Microchip Technology validating multiple product lines in production environments.

PCB manufacturing assembly
07 PCB & PCBA Manufacturing

From schematic to
shop floor.

We design PCBs with manufacturability in mind from day one — DFM, DFT, BOM optimisation, and manufacturing liaison for smooth prototype-to-production transition.

Our universal EA Training Platform is a showcase of this capability: supporting 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit MCUs interchangeably with a rich peripheral ecosystem on a single board.
