Embedded Software Development Services
Can embedded software development solve your business needs?
Today, more and more businesses focus on implementing turnkey digital solutions tailored to specific requirements. Stop using expensive universal software solutions from “high-status” vendors. They either have redundant functionality for which you pay a lot of money, or vice versa, require additional third-party applications to completely solve the problems of enterprises.
We offer tried-and-tested embedded computer software development services fully supported by the hardware you use. This will help you achieve the most cost-effective and scalable digital transformation possible.
Embedded software is a binary file written to the device’s EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) managed by its embedded controller. Without embedded software, a PCB-based device is a “brick” with which the user cannot do anything, since it is not operational. Using this type of software, you can optimize apps installed on the flash memory of the device, as well as expand and reprogram the built-in device functionality (For example, you could change settings of one sort or another).
Embedded software development is usually demanded in niches where machine control is needed. You can find solutions based on embedded software in robotics systems, smart cars, manufacturing, and many other PCB-controlled systems.
Some people confuse the concepts of firmware and embedded software. Is there any difference between them?
Firmware is software designed for a specific device model. Unlike firmware, embedded software is of an applied nature. Such software is executed in the random access memory (RAM) of the device, starting the microprocessor operation. Firmware usually manages the physical device’s interface, and also is used to perform high-level functions (as opposed to embedded software).
When it comes to embedded programming languages, for this kind of software development specialists typically choose C++, Java, JavaScript, or Python. Also, the base for some embedded solutions are the original operating systems for mobile gadgets – Android or Linux. The need to develop such software arises when it is necessary to expand the range of tasks that the OS performs.
The embedded software development process usually consists of the following steps.
- Analysis of Client Requirements
First, our embedded systems programming specialists specify the system and non-system requirements of the client for the product. After that, we turn these requirements into a list of technical specifications that further define the technology stack, budget, and project timeline. - Writing Code
Writing embedded systems programming code is a rather time-consuming process. This is where the business logic of the application is developed and the functionality is implemented (a indicated in the design phase). - Testing and QA
This step is very important for eliminating bugs and non-compliance issues in the created application with the list of specifications before its release. The underlying procedures help avoid costly downtime and rework. - Launching
The launching stage includes deploying the application in a real-world operating environment and configuring and integrating with existing third-party software solutions. As a result, you get a completely turnkey solution. - Tech Support
Technical support is required in case of problems with the operation of an already running software solution, as well as in the event of a need to reconfigure or upgrade it. Tech support specialists usually resolve problems within a few business days.
Typically, such software is used in robotic real-time embedded systems – for example, in industrial plants. Indeed, sometimes, the applications that are already built into the robot’s operating system are not enough. And, instead of buying a new robot to expand the capabilities of your enterprise, you can simply reprogram the devices you already have.
For the highest quality software solution in their industry, embedded software companies need to have a pure vision of what tasks will be assigned to real-time embedded systems. Also, developers need clear performance requirements and specifications for the environment in which this software will operate. Only such an end-to-end analysis of the requirements and working conditions for embedded electronics systems will allow specialists to achieve best results.
