Services >> Embedded Application:

Embedded Application refers to Embedded Systems - hardware and software together forming a component of some larger system. The CompactPCI (and accompanying PICMG 2.16) platform is an embedded system and Performance Technologies' IPnexus product family has been designed to maximize these form factors.

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.
