Tributech accelerates C-SDK development and opens IoT platform for microcontrollers with Danube Dynamics.
SUCCESS STORY
The success of modern IoT platforms depends not only on their performance, but also on their flexibility.
Tributech was facing precisely this strategic expansion: The company’s modular data platform was already successfully established on embedded Linux systems. The next step was to accelerate developments in the embedded sector and implement new features for the existing C-SDK.
At the same time, the platform needed to support microcontroller-based devices such as edge devices, sensors, and minimalist IoT gateways.
To achieve this goal efficiently, Tributech decided to collaborate with Danube Dynamics – experts in embedded software, IoT and security.
The Challenge:
Enhancement of the C-SDK and microcontroller integration.
In order to accelerate targeted developments in the embedded sector and draw on additional expertise, Tributech sought a partner with a strong IoT background. The focus was on the enhancement of the C-SDK – including new features – and on making the platform available for microcontrollers.
The enhancement of the C-SDK and microcontroller integration presented complex challenges:
A wide range
of target systems with different interfaces and architectures
Lack of standardisation in APIs
and high demands for abstraction and modularity
High requirements
for platform independence, security and maintainability
With a well-designed architectural concept and a deep understanding of the system, Danube Dynamics efficiently delivered on the requirements, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable evolution of the IoT platform.

"Microcontroller systems set very high demands on modularity, security and portability. Together with Tributech, we were able to develop an SDK that meets these requirements while being future-proof and seamlessly embedded into the existing platform strategy."
Why Danube Dynamics?
Tributech chose Danube Dynamics as a strong partner for implementing the C-SDK for microcontrollers based on:
Experience
Many years of experience in embedded software development, especially for microcontroller systems.
Expertise
Extensive expertise in embedded security – a key element for Tributech's data integrity.
Cooperation & Proximity
Proven collaboration on a preliminary project. Both companies are headquartered in Linz, which accelerated the process.
This combination enabled an effective, collaborative partnership
– fast, efficient, and technically sound.
The Solution:
Robust and flexible C-SDK for microcontrollers.
Thanks to its modular architecture, the SDK is now highly flexible – providing an ideal foundation for microcontroller integration in future IoT projects. The project was structured into two phases:
1. Pre-project
- Requirements analysis
- Architectural concept for the C-SDK
- Alignment on feature setting and microcontroller integration
2. Main Project
- Implementation of SDK features
- Comprehensive testing across multiple hardware platforms
