CG PROGRAMMING Embedded Controllers
What We Provide
Our services are to get your product to market faster, better, and
cheaper than your competition. Many companies are highly knowledgeable
in their equipment, but do not have the in house experience with other
systems. The end user is needs to have their entire system maintained
and operating, not just one piece of equipment. Systems now need
to communicate with computers and other equipment to provide diagnostic
and configuration tools. Advanced embedded controller software adds
the capability while reducing chip counts and per unit costs. Software
needs to be user friendly and have the user's nomenclature included.
Accelerated Assist

Using Embedded Controllers
All products must be commercially viable and successful in today's
markets. Many existing products have worked well in the past, but
today's users demand more reliability, troubleshooting, ease of use, and
communications. Some products add embedded controllers just to reduce
the component count and the associated per unit cost. Other products
are updated to add functionality without having to create a new product.
Sometimes, new products are created with embedded controllers with features
that were previously too expensive or not possible at all.
Definition
Before any development can start, the actual needs are identified.
A detailed outline of what the software is expected to provide is created.
This ensures all aspects of what will be required in the final product
are included.
Design
The outline must be analyzed to determine of all the functions are
needed, useful, and not conflicting. Resolution of these issues early
will save on post development work. The design includes analysis
of the program as part of entire system, internal and external specifications
Plan of Attack
The software layout is planned. You, our client, are consulted
design flow at a level of detail that you desire. The plan for the
software development is made and any possible problems are identified.
Code Generation
The software is written according to the timeline. Corrective
measures are made before the project is due if the timeline will not be
made.
Quality Assurance
Many options are available for ensuring the highest quality software.
Compatibility testing, standard validation, system testing, automated testing,
and usability testing. Diagnostics are always included in our software.
Client Review
With embedded controllers that have security features for the program
code, the client is given the chip with the program on it. You evaluate
the chip with your people to determine what needs to be improved.
There is not charge for the initial program chip. Changes are planned
and the steps start again at the design stage.
Acceptance
A revolutionary idea! Only after you are completely satisfied
with the software is payment made! The software code and documentation
is then released to you with your acceptance. This method provides
you with the software you need, on budget, with low risk, and to market
before your competitors.
