Embedded Software Development

Introduction to Embedded Systems

Embedded systems are computers (microprocessors) that are enclosed (embedded) in customized hardware. Examples of embedded systems are portable medical equipment, cellular phones, or consumer electronics items.

The market for Embedded Systems

  • Experienced tremendous growth over the past few years
  • Is challenged by the need for secure and scalable systems that are easy to deploy and maintain.

The 2 Domains:

1.Machine And Application Embedded Software

2.Embedded Software

Information technology related companies offer end-to-end solution development services. This involves designing, developing and testing of software for embedded components and systems that meet specific customer requirements. They use diverse, real-time operating systems, devices & platforms and associated embedded tools and technologies.

 

Embedded software needs

Typically software for embedded systems need to have a very small footprint (i.e. be able to run in a small amount of memory) and often have to work in real-time. Companies here in India offer specialized operating systems and languages, which make this possible. These companies ensure the designing, developing, and testing of software for embedded systems and components meet specific customer requirements. They use diverse, real-time operating systems, devices and platforms and associated embedded tools and technologies
