What are examples of embedded software?

Examples of embedded software include firmware in consumer electronics such as smartphones, smart TVs, and home appliances. You can also add automotive software such as engine control units, infotainment systems, and navigation systems to that list. Furthermore, embedded software examples include industrial automation software such as PLCs, SCADA systems, and HMIs. The list ends with medical devices, software and all sorts of Internet of Things devices.

What are embedded engineering services?

Embedded engineering services are services that help companies develop, design, test, and maintain embedded software and hardware solutions. These services can include hardware design, firmware development, driver development, testing, validation, and industry standards compliance.

What is embedded software vs software?

Embedded software is designed to run on specific hardware devices, typically with limited resources and real-time requirements. On the other hand, regular software is created to run on general-purpose computing devices such as desktops, laptops, and servers. Embedded software is often designed to perform a specific function and may be integrated with the hardware components of a device.

What platforms do you write embedded software for?

Embedded software can be written for a variety of platforms, including microcontrollers, digital signal processors (DSPs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and system-on-chip (SoC) platforms. The choice of platform depends on factors such as performance requirements, memory and power constraints, and cost considerations.

Transportation and logistics

Ramping up an Agile team to expand a global Internet of Things (IoT) platform

Our client, a global provider of smart telematics solutions that boost fleet management efficiency, ordered an audit of their IoT platform to select a long-term software partner. Satisfied with the results and the expertise demonstrated by the Software Mind team, the client involved us in enhancing their platform as well as merging it with an acquired telematics system. For this intensive period of engineering work, we provided three Agile development teams, quickly growing the team from three to 20 specialists to accommodate the project’s needs.

Telecom

Designing a tailor-made embedded monitoring system that safeguards network stability

Our client, a local subsidiary of one the world’s largest telecommunications corporations, wanted to collect more detailed data to increase network stability. Software Mind designed and developed a flexible FTTH monitoring system consisting of three custom probes for running performance, stability and diagnostics tests. The probes help increase bandwidth quality, as well as upgrade FTTH network stability and streaming quality, which boost customer satisfaction.
