What is Embedded Firmware?
Embedded firmware is software written for specific hardware to control devices. Key benefits include:
- Real-time operation: Timely responses and stability.
- Deterministic behavior: Predictable execution times.
- Efficiency: Low power and memory usage.
- Reliability: Fault-tolerant and robust systems.
- Consumer Electronics: Smartphones, smart TVs, gaming consoles.
- Automotive Systems: Engine controls, infotainment, ADAS.
- Industrial Automation: Robotics, process control systems.
- Medical Devices: Pacemakers, insulin pumps, imaging equipment.
Difference between Firmware & Hardware
Hardware is physical and can be touched, while firmware is programming that enables hardware to function. Hardware can be damaged by physical forces, while firmware failure is caused by improper programming.
