Imagining a day with embedded software and product functioning on yes basis is unimaginable. They have become an integral part of our life. It has shaped our life and today we use products we can easily understand the growing importance of embedded products in our life by looking at the examples mentioned below:
- Pacemakers
- Cellphones
- Coffee maker
- Microwave oven
- Infotainment systems
- Antilock brakes and other automotive components
- Satellites
- Energy generation and distributions etc.
The aforementioned examples clearly exemplify how important products engineering services have become in our life . But with the changing time, the demand of customers have become more sophisticated which has pushed the software companies to increase the complexity of the embedded software to deliver products which can simplify the life of the end-user. This complexity of the system has given rise to some threats which can sometimes be life-threatening, delays can result in increased cost and poor productivity may impact the economy. It can be said that embedded software creates both value and uncertain risks. A simple example here shows how a small malfunctioning in the embedded system can lead to product failure and finally impacts the productivity of the company. Between 1990 and 2000, the firmware errors in the pacemakers resulted in the recall of 40% of the half million devices.
Despite the unprecedented risks of the embedded system, they are widely being used across the globe. Globally, embedded systems hold the market of 160 billion Euros and have an annual growth rate of 9%.
Challenges ahead:
We have already mentioned that embedded –software system pose some challenges, the likes include :
- Unexpected interactions among the circuits and various parts of the system
- Real-time behavior of products
- Long-term performance of the products
- Seamless end-user interaction
- Easy functioning
Even the slightest of error in the embedded system can result in errors which can sometimes be serious. Hence, it demands extra attention and care while designing and developing this system.
However, with the advent of modern technology and proficiency in the work, t has made it very easy for developers to design the circuits which are flawless and guarantee great end-user experience. We now have embedded software development platform which works as a solution for all the developers. This platform has all the building blocks which will help the developer to set up a microcontroller and make it ready in short duration of time where they can focus on product otherwise too much time goes in setting up microcontroller software ready for functioning. The basic idea behind embedded software development platform is that it has drivers, libraries, frameworks, schedulers and sometimes even application code are ready to use which gives a good time to the developer to focus on the product rather looking into the nuts and bolts of microcontrollers.
With the growing importance of the embedded system, it is important that we have a skilled team to handle the queries are write microcontroller drives. These drives are the soul of embedded products and are responsible for the smooth functioning of embedded products.
Our Role: Bytesplay is a renowned name in the development of embedded system. We have proficient and skilled developers who know the nuts and bolts of embedded system development.
