Embedded Software, Hardware & Silicon Solutions

What is Embedded Software, Hardware & Silicon Solutions?

Most electronic systems today have some embedded software, including appliances, automobiles, smartphones, computers, and industrial machinery. Embedded software is the program code that is developed specifically to power hardware, such as microprocessors, controllers, and silicon. In addition to running hardware devices, embedded software manages real-time inputs and outputs where performance and reliability, performance, and power efficiency are critical. Hardware and silicon engineering extends to the design of the physical components themselves, like circuit boards, FPGAs, and custom chips.

How does Embedded Software, Hardware & Silicon Solutions work?

Embedded Systems combine software with hardware designed to work together under precise operating constraints. Engineers design these systems across the full technology stack by defining hardware requirements and designing circuit schematics that will run inside the device. Like a fine choreographed dance, the software and hardware complement each other and must be tested together for safety and performance. Custom silicon are the integrated circuits developed for specific and targeted use applications. GlobalLogic’s Embedded Software, Hardware & Silicon practice serves industries including automotive, industrial, healthcare, and other consumer electronics.
