Firmware & Embedded Software Design

An embedded firmware is a software for a special type of processor in electronic hardware devices within a larger system. These embedded systems all have processors of some type. The processors complexity ranges from very simple, like microcontrollers to multi-core CPUs with built-in peripherals such as PCIe, and memory management. Embedded firmware works as central computers that provides instructions to the device on how to operate. Firmware starts working when device is powered on, and runs continuously.
Despite traditional software, which is written for an operating system that is easy to change and stored on easily accessible memory, firmware is the embedded processor code on the electronic board that’s not easy to change and is often controlled by the manufacturer and not the end-user.

Firmware development requires in-depth knowledge of the processor architecture and all the different modules and components connected to it. Some of them use real-time operating systems (RTOS), which makes it more complex to write a code. In addition, Firmware writing could include drivers for peripherals, algorithms to do the main job of the embedded system, or many other tasks. In details, firmware programming involves working with inputs, outputs, interrupts, memory read/write, etc.
Some examples of an embedded system include cell phones, microwaves, washing machine, remote controls, TVs, alarm clock, an electric tooth brush, the Wi-Fi Access Point, and lot of other appliances or machines.

A firmware engineer is responsible for the development and implementation of software for a variety of industries, such as the automotive, health care and consumer electronics industries. They coordinate with project team to create requirements and specifications and design descriptions for standards and procedures. A firmware engineer designs the functionality of software, develops new algorithms, alter and enhance existing code and manages software applications.
In addition, firmware engineers prepare and create technical manuscripts and protocols. They may require travelling to customer sites and interact with customers for support of the developed applications and prototype installations

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Firmware design refers to the process of developing low-level software that directly controls and manages the hardware components of electronic devices. Firmware acts as the intermediary between the hardware and higher-level software, ensuring that the device operates as intended. In firmware design, engineers write code that is typically stored in non-volatile memory (such as flash or ROM), enabling devices like microcontrollers, IoT devices, and consumer electronics to function reliably and efficiently. At Arshon Technology, we specialize in custom firmware design services that optimize hardware performance and enable seamless device functionality.

The cost of firmware development can vary widely depending on project complexity, hardware integration, safety requirements, and regulatory compliance. Basic firmware for simple devices may cost $5,000 to $20,000, while complex systems—such as IoT products with connectivity, security, and real-time processing—can range from $30,000 to $100,000 or more. At Arshon Technology, we offer tailored firmware design services that balance functionality, performance, and cost, delivering reliable solutions that align with your product goals and budget.

A firmware design engineer develops, tests, and maintains the embedded software (firmware) that enables hardware devices to perform their intended functions. Their responsibilities include writing low-level code in languages like C or C++, integrating drivers for hardware components (sensors, communication modules), optimizing system performance, and ensuring real-time operation. At Arshon Technology, our firmware engineers collaborate closely with hardware designers to deliver efficient, reliable, and scalable firmware solutions for a wide range of industries.

A firmware architect is responsible for designing the high-level structure and strategy for the firmware design of complex embedded systems. They make critical decisions about system architecture, communication protocols, memory management, and security. Firmware architects also define coding standards, ensure scalability, and oversee the integration of firmware with hardware components. At Arshon Technology, our firmware architects lead projects from concept to production, ensuring robust and future-proof firmware solutions tailored to your product’s needs.

Firmware is commonly categorized into three levels based on functionality and complexity:

  1. Low-Level Firmware: Also known as device firmware, it provides direct control over hardware components (e.g., microcontrollers, sensors).

  2. High-Level Firmware: Sits closer to application software and provides more complex control and communication with hardware (e.g., managing device operations or user interface functions).

  3. Subsystem Firmware: Controls specific hardware subsystems like networking modules, graphics processors, or specialized peripherals.

Arshon Technology’s firmware design services cover all three levels, offering comprehensive solutions for embedded systems across various applications.

Firmware is a type of software programmed into non-volatile memory to control hardware devices. It operates at a low level, managing hardware functionality and often running independently of user applications. Software, in contrast, typically refers to higher-level applications running on an operating system, providing user interfaces and broader functionality. In essence:

  • Firmware controls hardware
  • Software interacts with users and provides broader computational functions

At Arshon Technology, our firmware design expertise bridges the gap between hardware and software, enabling seamless device operation and control.

Embedded code is a broad term that refers to any software written to run on embedded systems. This includes firmware but can also encompass operating systems and higher-level applications. Firmware, specifically, refers to the foundational code stored in a device’s non-volatile memory that provides the essential control of hardware components. In summary:

  • Firmware is a subset of embedded code, focused on low-level hardware control

  • Embedded code may include firmware plus additional software components like real-time operating systems (RTOS) or communication stacks
    Arshon Technology provides firmware design and complete embedded software solutions, ensuring optimal performance, security, and functionality in your electronic products.
