Also known as embedded software development, this process involves the integration of a dedicated computer processor with computer memory and peripheral devices. At MicroType Engineering, we specialize in embedded devices and associated firmware development.
Embedded programming typically involves small and unique applications, often for fast, responsive, and highly specific tasks. Due to their small size, tailored firmware, and particular development focus, performance is typically excellent and hassle-free.
We provide fast and effective programming services at all stages of the development cycle, from the initial design and rapid prototype to the final working model. We specialize in embedded programming, circuit board design, and rapid prototyping solutions.
Embedded programming involves programming small computers that drive physical devices. This type of programming has several potential applications, especially for smaller and single-purpose devices. This type of programming works with embedded systems, which are commonly referred to as firmware. These single-purpose systems are stored in read-only memory or flash memory chips.
Embedded devices are used in products and applications that require a single or special-purpose computing system. An embedded system is generally enclosed within a physical object and designed to perform a specific function or range of tasks. For example, embedded programming is useful in the design of automobiles, industrial equipment, and handling tools with specific applications. Embedded programming is also used in single-use devices such as handheld games, digital cameras, and other focused electronic devices. Regardless of the specific application, embedded devices offer a smaller and more efficient design option.
MicroType Engineering specializes in the development of embedded devices for the real world. We specialize in bare metal programming and low-power products for IoT applications. Bare metal programming interacts with microcontroller registers. It is typically written in C, C++, or assembly code. The complete lack of higher-level languages and library abstractions is ideal for small, focused, and highly efficient applications.
Embedded programming has a range of possible use cases, including IoT applications. IoT devices have brought tiny computers and networks into many parts of our lives, from homes and cars to wearables and clothing. Embedded programming is commonly used in a range of IoT devices, along with automobiles, commercial and industrial equipment, gaming devices, cameras, and custom applications. Embedded devices and programming also fulfill an important role during the prototyping phase.
We use a range of processors during prototype creation, all of which have been selected specifically for the task at hand. We combine each processor with computer memory and robust peripherals for the design and creation of highly efficient electronic devices. We use metal programming typically written in C, C++, or assembly to control several microcontroller registers. During development, our team can try different types of real-time operating system (RTOS) stacks to find the best solution for your product. Our programmers are experienced with many firmware options and open-source software systems.
Prototyping allows you to test your ideas, change your designs, and showcase your product without the significant costs associated with full-scale manufacture.
Rather than getting involved with guesswork or wasting money testing designs yourself, you can get predictable functionality and cost projections with a prototype from MicroType Engineering. Our approach is transparent and easy to manage. Because we control everything from design to assembly, we can deliver faster results and provide a cheaper end-to-end solution.
