Android below the app.
Stable in the field. 你的 Android 專案,
不該只停在 Demo / POC。
CoreEdge Lab works where product teams usually get stuck: Android BSP, SoC platform integration, custom hardware, networking, VPN, diagnostics, OTA, and field recovery. Your team keeps building the product. We make the Android platform underneath survive real deployment. 我們是原廠與客戶之間的技術橋樑。你負責產品設計與 App 應用,我們補上 Android 系統層與底層平台,讓設備具備穩定連線、遠端修復、OTA 和現場恢復能力。
We Work Below the App, Where Device Problems Actually Start 我們做的是 App 底下,那些真正會讓設備卡住的地方
CoreEdge Lab is not another app vendor. We connect the layers from boot and drivers to Android services, remote access, OTA, and device operations. CoreEdge Lab 不是一般 App 外包。我們把 boot、driver、Android service、遠端入口、OTA 和設備維護這幾層接起來。
UI, customer workflow, product logic, and the features your users actually touch.
UI、客戶流程、產品邏輯,以及使用者真正會碰到的功能。
Reachability, recovery, logs, updates, and a maintenance path when nobody is on site.
可達性、恢復、log、更新,以及沒人在現場時還能處理問題的維護通道。
Three Platform Problems We Take Ownership Of 我們主要接手這三類平台問題
Clients usually come to us because the Android platform is unstable, integration is stalled, or field maintenance has no reliable path. We focus on the layers that determine whether the device can ship and stay supportable. 我們補的是原廠 BSP 與客戶產品落地之間的工程落差。多數客戶不是缺 App 工程師,而是卡在 Android 系統層:平台不穩、連線不可靠,或出貨後沒有維護路徑。
BSP Bring-up and Board Integration BSP 點板與硬體整合
When the device is still stuck at bring-up, we take it from boot to framework and help turn scattered hardware work into a usable platform baseline. 設備還卡在點板時,我們從 boot、kernel、driver 到 framework 一路查,把零散的硬體整合收斂成可用的系統基線。
Connectivity That Survives the Field 現場撐得住的連線
Field devices cannot depend on perfect networks. We design failover, recovery, watchdog, and routing logic so connectivity problems do not immediately turn into support incidents. 現場網路一定會出狀況。我們補上 failover、watchdog、routing 和恢復邏輯,讓斷線不要立刻變成客訴或派工。
OTA, Diagnostics, and Field Recovery OTA、診斷與現場恢復
We make updates, logs, rollback, validation, and recovery part of the platform so every field issue does not start from guesswork. 我們把更新、log、回滾、驗證和恢復流程整理進平台,讓每次現場問題不是從猜測開始。

Platform Maintenance Retainer 平台維護 Retainer
For devices already in the field that need ongoing ownership of platform availability. 適合設備已出貨,需要長期有人對平台可用性負責的客戶。
- OTA release review and rollback readiness
- OTA release review 與回滾準備
- Diagnostics and remote recovery
- 診斷與遠端恢復
- Field issue tracking and vendor coordination

Not sure which fits? Start with a Paid Assessment — it credits toward a follow-on engagement. 不確定適合哪一種?從付費評估開始,費用可折抵後續合作。
What This Looks Like in Real Projects 真實專案裡,我們會怎麼做
Representative client engagements (anonymized under NDA), spanning unstable bring-up, unreliable networking, production diagnostics, and remote maintenance. The results below were measured or monitored under each project's agreed conditions. 以下為代表性客戶案例(依保密協議已去識別化),涵蓋點板不穩、網路不可靠、產線診斷到遠端維護。下列成果皆為各專案在約定條件下實測或監控所得。
Qualcomm QCM6490 Full System Bring-up Qualcomm QCM6490 全系統點板
A Qualcomm QCM6490 bring-up effort that covered the core platform path from bootloader to framework, plus the peripheral and driver issues that typically delay product schedules. 這是一個 Qualcomm QCM6490 點板案例:從 bootloader 到 framework 打通主路徑,同時處理最常拖慢時程的周邊與驅動問題。
Multi-Interface Network Stack 多介面網路堆疊重構
A network architecture redesign for devices that had to stay reachable across LTE, WiFi, and Ethernet instead of failing whenever one interface behaved badly. 重整多介面網路,不只是「看起來有連線」,而是讓設備在 LTE、Wi-Fi、Ethernet 之間切換時還能找得到。
Production Diagnostic Toolchain 量產驗機工具鏈
A validation workflow built to catch hardware and assembly issues earlier, reduce repeated manual checking, and make factory-side problems easier to explain. 把驗證流程做清楚,提早攔截硬體與組裝問題,減少人工重複檢查,也讓產線異常更容易說清楚。
Self-Healing VPN for Unattended Fleet 無人值守設備群的自癒式 VPN
A remote access architecture built for fleets that could not depend on on-site visits, giving the team a stable path for support, updates, and recovery after deployment. 為無人值守設備建立遠端入口,讓設備出貨後仍然能支援、更新和救援,不用每次都派人到現場。

Why Clients Trust CoreEdge 為什麼客戶願意把這件事交給 CoreEdge
CoreEdge Lab is led by James Lee, with 17+ years across embedded systems, IC design support, Android BSP / SoC platform work, and production delivery. Clients usually come to us when the platform is already behind schedule, unstable in the field, or missing the system-layer ownership needed to ship. We work where those problems are actually solved: bring-up, integration, recovery, diagnostics, and production hardening. CoreEdge Lab 由 James Lee 主導,累積 17 年以上嵌入式系統、IC 設計支援、Android BSP / SoC 平台與量產交付經驗。客戶通常是在平台落後、現場不穩,或內部沒有人能扛 Android 系統層時找上我們。我們處理的是問題真正發生的地方:點板、整合、恢復、診斷和量產強化。
