Early stage · working with design partners

Firmware you can trust, all the way to the field.

Embrium is secure, auditable update infrastructure for the hardware you ship — so a bad release never means a bricked device.

Talk to us See what it does
The problem

A firmware update is a promise you can't take back.

Most connected devices in the field today were updated with none of the safeguards their manufacturer would insist on for anything else they ship.

// no verification

Anyone can be the source.

Without signed releases, a device can't tell a legitimate update from one that was intercepted or spoofed on the way to it.

// no rollback

Failure is permanent.

Lose power mid-flash with no recovery path, and a software problem becomes a hardware one — a truck roll to a device that will never check in again.

// no record

Nothing is provable.

When something breaks in the field, there's no tamper-evident answer to what shipped, when, to which device, or who approved it.

What Embrium is today

Four guarantees, built into every release.

Not a dashboard bolted on top of your existing pipeline — the foundation your update pipeline runs on.

01

Signed releases

Every update is cryptographically signed before it leaves your infrastructure, and verified on-device before it's ever installed.

02

Staged rollouts

Ship to 1% of your fleet before you ship to all of it. Catch a bad release while it's an incident, not a recall.

03

Crash-safe rollback

If power drops mid-update, the device recovers to a known-good state on its own — no field visit, no manual recovery.

04

Tamper-evident audit trail

A hash-chained record of every update, every device, every outcome — provable after the fact, not just logged.

How it works

Every release moves through the same five checkpoints.

No step is optional, and no device installs anything it can't verify for itself.

01

Build

Firmware compiled and packaged

02

Sign

Signed against your key hierarchy

03

Distribute

Staged out across the fleet

04

Verify

Checked on-device before install

05

Confirm

Recorded, or rolled back automatically

Where this is going

OTA is the foundation. Not the ceiling.

Every layer we build is meant to carry more weight later — the same trust foundation, extended further into how a fleet is run.

TODAY

Secure OTA for embedded fleets

Signed, staged, recoverable, and provable updates — the part of the lifecycle that fails silently until it doesn't.

NEXT

Fleet health & provisioning

The same trusted channel used to update a device is the natural one to monitor and provision it — extending the foundation, not replacing it.

EVENTUALLY

The default infrastructure layer for connected devices

A single, trusted foundation a hardware manufacturer runs their entire fleet's lifecycle on — from first boot to last update.

Who it's for

Built for the teams shipping hardware, not managing it.

If your devices leave the building and keep running, this is infrastructure you'll eventually need — built now, instead of assembled under pressure later.

Energy systems

Devices where a failed update means a real physical consequence, not just a restart.

Industrial & automation

Fleets running continuously, where downtime is measured directly in cost.

Connected products

Teams who'd rather ship product than maintain update infrastructure themselves.

We're early — and looking for the right first partners.

Embrium isn't generally available yet. We're working closely with a small number of hardware teams building the real thing with us.
