Embedded System Design Service

Quatron, with its professionally trained staff and state-of-the-art infrastructure and design techniques, is your only solution for Embedded System Design and Development. Our services have a microcontroller (MCU) unit incorporated into an efficient electronic design.

 

Embedded Hardware Design

Quatron has the expertise to rapidly develop complex Embedded hardware based on the most popular microcontroller . The hardware we develop is efficient and cost- effective . We also have experience in multiprocessor hardware development. We are also increasing our embedded hardware development with software development.

 

Embedded Software Development

Quatron can develop suitable software that can be called the "soul" of an embedded system. This is also known as “ Firmware development “. We develop firmware for most modern microcontrollers. Our firmware development team has the capabilities to develop even the most complex firmware with thousands of lines of highly efficient and accurate code. We have expert C/C++ programmers who can develop fast and compact firmware.

 

Embedded System Design and background

An embedded system ideally refers to the concept of a programmed operating system within a larger, precisely controlled, electrical and/or mechanical system, dedicated to performing only a particular function. The functionality of such an embedded system design can then be largely controlled and updated by the Firmware, i.e. the software contained within.

 

Embedded systems

These systems are ideally compact in size, low cost per unit and require relatively low power consumption. However, this makes managing, programming, and interacting with the system much more complex. However, Modern Embedded systems have taken over the industrial field as the underlying concept allows for control, maintenance and most importantly, the replacement of the entire network by updating the Firmware of the design.

Applications of embedded systems can range from use in everyday consumer devices to more complex installations and highly converged systems spread across countries. Most life-critical systems are embedded systems as they are less prone to hacking. At Quatron we understand the importance of this concern and therefore we project our products for a detailed phase devoted to extensive research, testing and debugging prior to prototype launch. The use of embedded systems can be found widely across all industries, many of which are subject to real-time performance constraints:

  • Everyday consumer electronics in the form of video game consoles, mobile phones, MP3 players, digital watches, digital cameras, Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, printers and other everyday devices;
  • Telecommunication systems in the form of networks for mobile phones and switches for networks to these mobile phones;
  • Computer networks according to routers and extensive network bridges that constantly route data;
  • Automation of home appliances providing flexibility of control over refrigerators, microwave ovens, washing machines, dishwashers and other similar appliances.
  • Monitoring and Control over security and surveillance cameras, light switches, door lock systems and others, with additional Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and wireless network use;
  • Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems have evolved to accurately automate indoor temperature based on season, time, day and night;
  • Transportation systems make heavy use of embedded systems in the form of embedded cars and new avionics with GPS functionality that requires significant security and monitoring.
  • Electric vehicles and Hybrid Vehicles use embedded design to minimize power consumption and pollution generation.
  • Like DC Motors, Induced DC and brushless DC motors, Electric Motors also benefit from embedded systems. Some other transport safety systems include Electronic Stability Control (ESC/ESP), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Systems (TS).
  • The medical industries use embedded systems in a variety of forms, including medical imaging techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) scans, Positron Emission tomography (PET) scans, and Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans.

Quatron staff draw on over 15 years of substantial experience in both hardware and firmware, software. We are experts in working on a variety of 8, 16, 32-bit microcontrollers and embedded system designs using DSP, and we have significant experience with ARM-based platforms.

Our main goal is to best combine the functions of these microprocessors and microcontrollers with hardware with secondary analog and digital circuitry so that our customers can switch from one processor/microcontroller to another quickly and efficiently.

Quatron enables its customers to realize the vision of their products with state-of-the-art design modules that reduce the cost per module produced. Our packages include complete pipeline development and design, including middleware development, system-level drivers and applications, performance-oriented services, in-depth testing and failure analysis. Additionally we offer PCB design and rapid electronic prototyping.

The following features of embedded system development are just a few of the features we've mastered (but are not limited to):

 

IoT and Embedded System Design

For systems with limited power and others, we ensure minimal use of resources with the lowest possible production costs for software embedded in physical devices.

 

OTA Firmware update

Over The Air means OTA, firmware update, software or data update over the air. The idea was limited to the cell phone device where original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) used OTA firmware to configure cell phones for their networks and generate updates. However, with the emerging IoT trend among industries worldwide, manufacturers now use OTA firmware update to deploy upgrades and configure operating systems on all IoT devices. Quatron is among these manufacturers.

 

IoT network security

With the rate at which IoT-based infrastructure is currently expanding, this massive scope technology is expected to grow and take over the ecosystem as data from IoT sensors converge into a cloud computing.

Being connected wirelessly through all our devices poses the biggest cyber threat ever; Hence, the main concern of network security regarding IoT application. Quatron's debugging phase consists of all precautionary checks that go through every network, application, device, thread and process in the ecosystem to ensure the security of your data.

 

IoT sensors and actuators

IoT sensors are indispensable enablers of the reality of the Internet of Things. These sensors serve as primary inputs to IoT-based infrastructures, as they continuously detect and monitor the data, which they can be analyzed and processed, by sending electrical signals to the relevant cloud server. Using the right IoT sensors in the right workflows is critical to the entire concept of the wireless ecosystem. On our platforms you will find highly methodical setups that provide tangible connections to your devices, thus giving you the ultimate in control, carefully crafted to support productivity with accuracy.

 

Product Prototyping

A prototype provides a clearer vision for both the customer and the developers; developers better understand the complexity of the system and therefore can work on ways to make it more efficient; customers can gain confidence in their investment and make inferences about initial costs with a visual view of progress. Ideas that are documented or discussed orally are of far less value than having hands-on experience with a working prototype. This can greatly save change time and costs and provide better communication between investors and developers.

Electronic prototyping helps establish the detailed breakdown of costs that the production phase will reveal. Thus, costs are taken into account in advance and help to predict the feasibility of producing the product. In addition, it offers an advance feedback that makes it easy to reach the early goal.

At Quatron, we offer rapid prototyping by wrapping your software in prototype hardware to meet your valuable expectations.

 

Bootloader

Bootloaders are an integral part of an onboard Microcontroller Unit or a Board Support Package (BSP) that initializes and powers the System's first silicon chips on a Chip. These bootloaders are processor and card specific. It is programmed to communicate with the host and/or read files sent by the host using any communication protocols that may be required. For example: I2C, SPI, Ethernet, UART, Bluetooth...
