Reverse Engineering Services for Hardware Development
Reverse Engineering proves to be a reliable method to revive and reuse a legacy system, for which the design architectures are not currently available.
It can also help in replication of a PCB for a project, thus, reducing the cost and time.
Our Hardware Reverse Engineering Services Include:
- Derivation of hardware schematics from the original PCB
- Support for estimation and optimization of the BOM cost
- PCB layout designing and fabrication
- Conversion of PCB to Gerber File
- Conversion of Gerber file to hardware schematics and layouts creation
- Board Bring up and Testing of reverse engineered board against the original board
