Firmware Development is the process of creating and programming software that is permanently stored in hardware devices. This software is responsible for controlling the device's functionality and behavior playing a critical role in ensuring that embedded systems operate as intended, providing the functionality and control necessary for a wide range of electronic devices and appliances.
It is another crucial phase in the Embedded Product development along with Hardware Design to ensure the product functionalities are as per the agreed specifications and customer requirements are met.
A good firmware provides an abstraction layer for the underlying hardware thereby increasing your product security. The softwares and applications use the APIs provided by the firmware to communicate and interact with the hardware. Hence this stage becomes a crucial phase from a Product Security point of view as well.
Key aspects of Firmware Development
In the digital age, where embedded systems power everything from smart devices to industrial machines, firmware development is the invisible hand that guides the hardware and brings functionality to life. Aspects of firmware development includes but are not limited to Hardware Integration, Real-time responsiveness, Efficiency, Peripheral Management, Memory Management, Error handling, Power Management, Firmware Updates, Security etc.
Embedded softwares are usually written in C-programming language. However, modern systems use a combination of Assembly, Python and other programming languages to deliver the best product for our customer requirements.
With the advent of IOT (Internet Of Things) the Hardware footprint of the Embedded Product Design is shrinking while the Firmware is getting more advanced in its capabilities to achieve a specific functionality from the product. We at Kiaratech understand the product requirements and craft the most efficient and cost-effective solutions for our customers.
All our projects are professionally managed using industry standard Project management tools like JIRA®, Git® and Github for repository management
