Embedded Software Development

At Ascenten, we provide next-generation embedded software development and engineering services to our customers that satisfy their specific business requirements. Ascenten has a rich expertise in developing firmware and embedded applications for a wide range of products including embedded C programming. We use our DSP expertise and IPs to develop fast embedded middleware, rich applications and interactive GUI. Our embedded expertise covers embedded c programming, application development and optimization of a wide array of popular RTOS platforms and proprietary micro-kernels, processor dependent real time assembly coding as well as real time multi-threaded applications.

Embedded Software Development

Success Story
  • Implemented DLMS stack and metering objects in an existing code while replacing a bulky communications standard albiet retaining its functionalities and security features.
  • Ascenten was engaged in emergency by a customer to deliver quickly as the sales deadlines were very close.
  • Ascenten successfully delivered working and tested code for an ultra low power micro controller which included porting the DLMS objects for smart meter reading and GSM for wireless communication
  • Engagement: Onsite & Offsite, 24 weeks

Success Story
  • Challenge: To evaluate the best compatible and lowest power RTOS for a specific low power microcontroller among OS-III from Micrium, embOS from Segger & SCIOPTA from Scepter.
  • Implemented various industry standard benchmarking algorithms for each evaluation parameter using ANSI C.
  • Performed thorough analysis of hardware power and timing performance, various latencies, scalability, cost and support.
  • Software: IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM 6.10 for standard C code, embOS and OS-III, IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM 6.20 for Sciopta
  • Engagement: Offsite, 12 Weeks  
  • The customer shall benefit by the optimal RTOS choice that shall be used for years to come as a software base of various product families.
