Embedded firmware development process refers to the systematic approach of designing, developing, testing, and deploying firmware for embedded systems. Firmware, a critical software component, controls and manages the hardware functionality of embedded devices, ranging from consumer electronics to industrial machinery.
The significance of embedded firmware development lies in its ability to optimize system performance, enhance reliability, and enable feature-rich applications. Historically, embedded firmware was developed using assembly or C programming languages. However, modern embedded systems often employ high-level languages, real-time operating systems, and advanced development tools to meet the increasing complexity and performance demands.
