Firmware and embedded software are often used interchangeably, but they do have some differences.
Firmware refers to the software that is permanently or semi-permanently installed on a device and controls its basic functionality. It is typically low-level software tightly integrated with the device’s hardware and is responsible for controlling the device’s basic functions, such as input/output operations, power management, and communication with other devices.
Embedded software, on the other hand, refers to the software integrated into a larger system or device. It is generally higher-level software that runs on top of the firmware and is responsible for performing specific tasks or functions. Embedded software can be updated or changed more easily than firmware.
Gather information about the device's intended function, its environment, and any constraints or requirements that the firmware must meet.
Develop a high-level design that describes the overall architecture of the firmware, including the main components and their interactions.
Develop a detailed design for each component of the firmware, including the algorithms and data structures used.
Write the code for the firmware, following the detailed design.
Test the firmware to ensure that it meets the requirements and is stable and reliable. This may include testing on the actual hardware or in simulation environments.
