What Is Embedded Firmware?

Embedded firmware is a special type of software that is programmed into a device’s hardware to control its basic functions. It is stored in permanent memory, which cannot be easily changed or erased. Traditionally, embedded system firmware was not meant to be updated after it was installed. However, newer devices often store embedded firmware in Flash memory, which makes it easier to modify and offers more space than older types of memory. 

In simple terms, embedded firmware is the software that runs on a device’s hardware and controls how it works. Working directly with the underlying hardware, we can offer firmware development for embedded systems that interact directly with the specific hardware in the product.

As a leading firmware development company, at Bermondsey Electronics we have experienced in delivering reliable, high-performance embedded firmware across multiple industries. 

Embedded Firmware Development

As specialists in embedded firmware development and firmware programming, our experienced team starts by taking your requirements and returning a detailed scope and any documentation necessary for regulatory compliance. This demonstrates that we can tackle the technical aspects of your project and also help you meet your business objectives. These include hitting product launch dates and keeping within your NPI development budgets. 

During the embedded firmware development stage, our embedded firmware engineer services team work on developing firmware while continuously testing and refining it.  This approach allows us to produce an embedded firmware product that is reliable, efficient, and easy to understand. As part of our firmware development for embedded systems, our testing process is comprehensive and follows industry standards to ensure the quality of the final product.

Testimonials

Don’t take our word for it, these are kind words from our customers

Fault Investigation - Buildings Industry
The Bermondsey Electronics team investigated all the options and understood the complexity of our problem and how dangerous it was for our workforce. We’d already tried to have our product fixed many times and our other providers had deemed it unfixable. Their solution enabled us to finally fix the product and as a bonus, they also reduced the time requirement, cost and complexity of installation. 
Leisure Industry​
Peter's team were professional and easy to work with. They understood our challenges and helped us overcome them. Their technical expertise enabled us to solve the difficulties we were experiencing. We valued their support and have since built a productive working relationship with them.
Sportable
We worked with Bermondsey on a project that was mission critical for us and Peter and his team were instrumental to its success. They worked quickly, methodically and produced sophisticated, neat solutions. Can't recommend them enough!
Dr Mike Fletcher, Technical Manager
"We have contracted Bermondsey Electronics for a number of firmware projects relating to our embedded product developments. Their expert staff have helped to move projects forward quickly and efficiently, augmenting our own in-house development team. For detailed knowledge and speed of response I thoroughly recommend Peter and the team at Bermondsey."

How We Work

We will work with you to agree to all project requirements and goals, as well as establish KPIs to ensure we’re on the right track. Regular meetings will be scheduled to provide progress updates on firmware programming and keep you informed of all project developments.

We write our test plans first in order to fully scope out the work required. This approach to embedded system firmware helps to keep us on track at all times and achieve project success.

Our goal is to complete all embedded firmware development work as efficiently and effectively as possible, with ongoing testing throughout the process. Upon request, we can provide you with a test report at each firmware programming stage to keep you informed of the results.

We supply the code and test report our work for your review and approval. You can then reproduce the test report by following the same methods and implement your new embedded software with your product. Through our expertise in firmware development for embedded systems, we ensure that the code is reliable, traceable, and optimised for your hardware.

Embedded Firmware Development and Industry Standards

At the end of the embedded firmware development process, we deliver a fully functional product that has undergone rigorous testing and meets all applicable standards. As a specialist embedded firmware company, at Bermondsey Electronics we take pride in our commitment to traceability at each step of the firmware development process, ensuring compliance with industry standards and guaranteeing the highest quality outcomes for our clients.

Embedded Firmware Development FAQs

What is an example of embedded firmware?

Firmware is present in a wide variety of computing equipment. For example, storage devices like USB drives and hard drives rely on firmware to operate with a computer. Similarly, mobile devices such as phones, laptops, and tablets use firmware to enable their hardware to interact with different software. The process of developing and updating this code, known as firmware programming, is essential to ensure that devices function both reliably and efficiently.

Firmware is stored in non-volatile memory, meaning it doesn’t lose its data when the power is turned off. This memory can be either read-only memory (ROM) or programmable types like EPROM, EEPROM, or flash memory. If a device’s embedded system firmware is stored in ROM, changing it requires physically replacing the memory chip. However, it is worth noting that some ROM chips are not designed to be removed or replaced after the device is made.

Embedded firmware is critical because it acts as the bridge between hardware and software. Without proper embedded firmware development, devices such as sensors, controllers, or custom electronics cannot function as intended. High-quality firmware development for embedded systems can help to ensure stability, performance, whilst achieving long-term reliability.

Embedded firmware development is used across a wide range of industries, including medical devices, automotive, industrial automation, consumer electronics, and IoT. At Bermondsey Electronics, we support clients in all these sectors with embedded system firmware.
