Embedded System Design
Microprocessors and microcontrollers such as MicroChip PIC, 8051, Atmel, TI, ARM, Freescale 68K and Coldfire. Others may be used upon request. Software is normally written in C, C++, C#, Java, and Assembly. Embedded and Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) are often used, including Micrium uC/OS, FreeRTOS, Linux, and Android. Our source code is always well organized, documented, and version controlled.
