New SEGGER Design Service for embedded systems

Often the best solution is a microcontroller-based, deeply embedded solution. An embedded system can minimise both cost and power consumption and will generally have a much faster boot time than a larger Linux/Android-based system.

The design starts with the right embedded software. SEGGER's emPower OS provides a robust solution and serves as a solid foundation. SEGGER can design and produce prototypes and take hardware design to production if desired.

“Many products use large operating systems with massive memory requirements when a less complex system, powered by a single-chip microcontroller, could have better reaction times, be safer, run more efficiently, and cost significantly less,” says Rolf Segger, Founder of SEGGER. “Companies often overlook exploring the microcontroller option because either it is not how they have done it in the past or they simply don’t have the knowledge and experience of the designs and software available. The SEGGER Design Service enables anyone to build and benefit from an embedded system.”

With SEGGER’s 30+ years of experience in the development of embedded applications, the SEGGER Design Service focuses on providing customised microcontroller-based solutions. Beginning with a comprehensive analysis of project requirements, SEGGER’s Embedded Experts work with customers to select core components and develop the core application framework.

Because the SEGGER Design Service works to reduce cost per unit, it can be especially beneficial for clients with mass production setups. The service also offers a long-term maintenance option.
