Embedded System Design

The most common service we offer is Embedded System Design.

Decsription
An embedded design, is an electronic design that contains an embedded micro-controller. The design will therefore consist of electronic hardware, including a micro-controller, and well as embedded software (also known as firmware).

An embedded system design consists of a few stages, some of which can be done in parallel.

It all starts with a system or product specification. More often than not, the client is less technical and has only a one line product description.

Through discussion and asking the correct questions, a detailed product desctiption is established. This in turn, is translated into a design specfication, detailing the crucial aspects of the design including operation, cost, functionallity etc.

The design is generally divided into logical stages. A firm quote is detailed for the first stage of the design, with estimates for the following stages. On completion of the first stage, a fixed quote is detailed for the next stage, with revised (if nescessary) quotes for the remaining stages. All documents and design files are complete at the end of each stage, so the client is always free to pass the design on to another design house if preferred.
