Firmware Development

Firmware development involves creating the specialized software that is embedded directly into hardware devices, like smartphones, printers, or medical equipment. This software, called firmware, controls how the device operates at a fundamental level. Developers write and update firmware to improve functionality, fix bugs, or add new features, ensuring the hardware performs reliably and efficiently. Unlike regular software, firmware is stored in non-volatile memory, meaning it remains even when the device is powered off. The process requires careful programming to ensure the firmware is stable and compatible with the hardware, often involving rigorous testing before deployment.
