Bringing electronic products to life
25 Years of Embedded Firmware Development Expertise
Our embedded software service delivers firmware in a controlled and timely manner. Our method ensures repeatability and guarantees you will understand the delivery. The firmware and embedded software services provided will include the following:
This approach ensures that at every step, you fully understand what we’re doing and why. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of the final outcome, and if any compromises are necessary, you’ll know exactly why they were made.
If we have taken opportunities to improve the delivery, you are aware beforehand. We do not like surprises, and we believe our customers don’t either.
It’s time to work together.
If you want to fast track the launch of your next product without compromising quality or reliability, you can rely on our embedded engineering services to deliver.
We frequently work with connected products. Typically, there will be a sensor, some sort of data transmitter, and often a battery. This device sends data to the Web, where it is stored in a database and retrieved on demand. Customers may require us to deliver all or part of this capability.
IoT systems are inherently complex, but we’ve successfully helped numerous customers bring their designs to life. Using our in-house testing tools, we ensure that each design meets its required functionality. For instance, we partnered with a radio sensor company to develop remote sensors for public spaces, enabling capabilities such as people counting, air quality monitoring, and vehicle counting, among others.
A major challenge was battery life, so we designed an energy efficient communications system to allow hundreds of sensors to update through a single internet connection. Without security the data is worthless, so the radio network is private, and we use SSL to communicate around the Internet. Data should be end-to-end encrypted before leaving the controller, and all the way through to the destination. Our testing can prove all of these.
Bermondsey Electronics Limited is a highly experienced embedded system design house. Active in sectors that include aerospace, automotive, security, medical, fitness and leisure, the company’s design and verification services shorten and de-risk product launches. These embedded systems engineering services also enable customers to go to market with increased confidence in their products; assured that they have been completely functionally verified.
Sometimes we test because product quality demands it, but other times we test because there is a regulatory requirement. Each customer knows where they lie on this spectrum.
For customers who require product quality, we prove the product performs as required (e.g. that a BLE device has enough bandwidth). For customers who require regulatory approval, we prove the specific conditions of the test are met (e.g. that a medical product does no harm during the course of treatment). Regardless of the motivation, our testing proves that your product causes minimal unintentional harm or loss.
Our motivation is proving your product works as intended, under the specific conditions you require. Working in regulated industries always adds the challenge of conformity within those industries. We are here to reassure you that products can be delivered in these conditions, in a controlled and predictable manner. We are your trusted partner in developing software that is resilient, safe, secure, and performs reliably across a wide range of conditions.
For those customers who need it, we can trace our test report outcomes back through the software design document and the test plan, all the way back to your original requirements
Modern regulation requires consideration of failure modes during conception, design and production. We can partner with you at each of these stages to prove compliance.
We are able to consider the risks of action, or inaction, as suitable to your product. We consider the risks at each stage of development to ensure your product is as safe as it needs to be.
We will work closely with you to agree on all project requirements and goals and set KPIs for the project so that we know we’re on the right track. We will meet regularly with you to give frequent progress updates and keep you in the loop with all project developments.
We write our test plans first in order to fully scope out the work that is required and what services your project may benefit from. This helps to keep us on track at all times and can help to guide project success.
We aim to complete all work as efficiently and effectively as possible, testing as we go, and we will also provide you with a test report at each stage of the process if requested.
We initiate 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 roll out your new embedded software with your product.
Don’t take our word for it, these are kind words from our customers
Firmware provides the instructions for hardware to start up, connect with other devices, and handle basic tasks. Software, on the other hand, is installed on a device for user interactions like browsing the internet, listening to music, or video conferencing.
Embedded software tends to be more flexible and capable of managing a broader range of tasks and interactions with other software components. However, firmware is typically less flexible, as it is designed to handle specific low-level functions that are critical to the hardware’s operation.
Embedded engineering focuses on developing and testing software that powers both commercial and consumer devices, ranging from aircraft displays and cardiac pacemakers to Bluetooth radios in smartphones.
