What you get in a week

From “which chip?” to a parts list.

Pick a device like yours and watch the decision take shape, step by step: from a vague idea to a written choice you can build on.

    Example devices. Prices, battery life and availability are invented to show the method.

    Who it is for

    Who usually starts with Hardware Selection

    You are building a device and the first big decision is the chip or board. These are the cases we see most often.

    Startup building its first device

    The idea is clear, but nobody on the team has chosen hardware before.

    First deviceChip choice

    Battery-powered product

    Battery life decides the chip, the radio and the whole design.

    Low powerBattery life

    Connected device

    Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa or cellular: the right radio for where it will be used.

    ConnectivityRange

    Price per unit matters

    You need a target cost per unit before you talk to manufacturers.

    Unit costParts list

    Selling in the EU

    Connected devices sold in the EU must follow the security rules of the Cyber Resilience Act.

    CRASecurity

    Supply problems

    A part went out of stock or doubled in price, and you need an alternative.

      Before you buy

      Is Hardware Selection right for you?

      A good fit if

      • You are building a connected or battery-powered device
      • You need to choose a chip or board, or check a choice
      • You want a written comparison and a parts list
      • You want a fixed price and a result in one or two weeks

      Better as a different project if

      • You only need software, with no device
      • You need the prototype built now: see Sprint + Prototype
      • The hardware is chosen and you need the firmware
      • You need mass production handled
      See OS & Firmware

      Questions

      What do I need to prepare?

      What the device must do, where it will be used and, if you have one, a target price per unit.

      Can you also build the device software?

      Yes. Development is a separate project, see OS & Firmware.

      I need more than a choice of board.

      Then take the Feasibility & Architecture Sprint. It includes this and the full architecture.

      What is the Cyber Resilience Act?

      An EU law with security rules for connected devices sold in the EU. The checklist shows what your device needs.

      What if we don’t continue with you?

      You keep the architecture, the plan and the estimate.

      Do you build the prototype?

      Yes, as Sprint + Prototype, from €4,500.

      Do you sell the hardware?

      No, buying the hardware is not included. We compare 2–3 options and recommend the one that fits your device, your price and your timeline.

      Can we already have a board in mind?

      Yes. Then we check it against the alternatives and tell you if it is the right choice and why.

      Do you sign an NDA?

      Yes, at no cost, before you share the details of your device. GDPR is handled in-house: a Data Protection Officer is part of our team.

      How do I pay?

      By card or SEPA bank transfer via Stripe. Hardware Selection is €990 + VAT, the Sprint is €1,990 + VAT, both one-time.
