What We Offer: Product Lifecycle Optimization: Embedded Software Development
The Unique Requirements of Embedded Development
Despite sharing many of the same challenges as other forms of software development, embedded software development has enough of its own nuances and difficulties to be a standalone discipline. Complexities abound. The shear diversity of hardware platforms, component software technologies, network protocols, and peripheral device support requirements can be overwhelming. Engineers face numerous constraints in hardware capabilities and must concern themselves with the smallest details of the application to ensure proper execution on the target processor. Most development and testing must be done with simulators, given limitations in device capabilities and even availability. Not surprisingly, the impact of this complexity is seen in project results. One study found that over 70% of embedded software development projects missed pre-design expectations for performance, functionality, features and schedule by at least 30%.1
