EMBEDDED FIRMWARE DEVELOPMENT

What is Embedded firmware development ?

Embedded firmware development is basically writing the code which runs on Embedded hardware. It is not something you do on a full-fledged PC, but say on a micro-controller or a microprocessor. Think of it like the firmware inside your washing machine, or a microwave or a refrigerator. It does not seem like a software, but something is in there that controls the sensors, peripherals, motors, timers etc.

Does firmware development is similar to PCB circuit design ?

No firmware development is different from PCB circuit designs as PCB designing is on hardware circuit board whereas firmware is writing the code.

Compact size modules can be made by integrating small mini size equipment. The different sizes of electronic devices such as sensors and microcontrollers are available in the market.

Can you design a micro size device ?

Yes we can design micro size devices.

Do I need to get my firmware updates regularly ?

Firmware upgradation is required for better performance of the device. Regular firmware updates includes software updation which helps in increasing the speed of the device. The development bugs which are shown in the softwares will be fixed during the updates. Basically firmware updates are required for better device performance and enhancing overall speed.

Do you provide firmware services in the UK/US ?

Yes we provide firmware services in the UK/ US and all over the world.

IoT DASHBOARD

What is an IoT dashboard ?

An IoT dashboard is the control panel for the IoT devices. It can be seen as a data visualisation tool where real time values will be displayed that are collected by the smart device.

Why do I need an IoT dashboard ?

AN IoT dashboard is required to control the smart device and to keep a check on the device functionalities.

Do I need a different dashboard for different smart devices ?

No more than one smart device can be integrated with one IoT dashboard. All you need to do is sitch the IoT devices from the dashboard window.

Will my dashboard change it's terms according to location ?

The IoT dashboard works according to the device. If the device location changes then the IoT dashboard will display the data accordingly.

How can I access my IoT dashboard with my mobile ?

You can access the IoT dashboard via mobile application which is associated with the smart device and dashboard.

Can an IoT dashboard tell whenever there is physical damage to the device ?

Yes, an IoT dashboard is designed by keeping in mind that any damage to the device can be detected in early age without a delay.
