Embedded Software Design Consultants, Bespoke and Custom Embedded System Design and Development including test and measurement equipment for business and OEMs in the UK

Eden Electronics provide embedded software design and development services and consultancy to businesses and OEMs throught the UK. We develop embedded systems, bespoke laboratory test equipment, precisions portable testers, specialist sensors, custom testers and battery powered portable electronic equipment.

We supply businesses with Embedded System Design consultancy to add the electronics and software to your products. Our experience in developing test and measurement and control system software allows us to make bespoke testers and control systems for use on the production line to improve efficiency and ensure quality.

Real time control and precision measurements form a part of most embedded systems we develop.

We are used to working with partners who bring different skills to the development of embedded systems, and will work with your own engineers as a seamless part of your project team.  Whether you require a turnkey solution, a partner to work on the software or electronics aspects of your product or embedded consultancy services Eden Electronics can help.

We have made several bespoke testers, and custom production line testers as well as designing the software for precisions laboratory and portable tester equipment, sensors and measuring devices. It is our combination of software and electronics expertise that makes us good at developing embedded products, and bespoke tester development.

Embedded System Design

Eden Electronics specialises in embedded system design and development. W develope software for microprocessors, system-on-chip (SoC), and microcontrollers. We support various target platforms and architectures: ARM, XScale, Cortex-M3, Infineon C166 and 8051. 

As microcontrollers continue to increase in power and reduce in cost the majority of the control electronics is now within the microcontroller chip.  This simplifies development, improves EMC conformance, reduces power usage and production costs.  This makes the software the dominate component in many embedded products. 

We typically use the 32bit RISK ARM7 and ARm Cortex-M3 processors in new designs because of their low cost and high performance.  We use the well proven Real View compiler developed by ARM Ltd, and Keil’s µVision development IDE and simulator for our development work. Typically our software runs on custom hardware either designed by us or by one of our partners.

Embedded Software Design

Software is now a key component of almost everything that contains electronics. We are experts at embedded software design with this being a key focus for our tool investment. Embedded and real-time software is different form PC applications and requires an understanding of the underling hardware, and real-time constraints. All our embedded software designs are capable of multi-tasking with real-time constraints.

Software can be changed without retooling costs, so your products can be enhanced to keep you competitive, with a software upgrade which adds nothing to your production costs. It can be enhanced to break into new markets without the expense and long lead times of redesigning PCBs and mechanical components.

The embedded software design in a product can be changed easily to meet new business needs. We typically form long lasting relationships with out customers, and often make small changes to their products to allow them to win new orders.

We have developed laboratory test equipment. A recent example is the Bottle Sampler for measuring the contamination in hydraulic fluid and other oil.

We used Windows CE which offers a rich user interface, that is particular good for laboratory test equipment. It also offers most of the connectivity that you would expect from a desktop PC including the ability to download test results to a standard USB memory stick.

The user control is entirely through the touch sensitive colour display, giving a clean stylish case, and a simple to sue interface.

The software also controls the syringe pump, dip-tube lift motor, pneumatic valves and other aspects of the system.  The software maintains a constant pneumatic pressure around the sample using shop air or an internal pneumatic compressor if shop air is not available.  Recent Laboratory Equipment Projects

Our expertise in electronics allows us to balance production costs, development costs and performance with flexibility by carefully selecting which functionality is implemented in electronics and which is implemented in software. Almost all our embedded software runs on customner desinged hardware.

Software is updateable so the right choices here can reduce productions costs, and also give flexibility for future enhancements to your products. The electronics for a product is often fixed early but with enhancements to the embedded software your product can have an extended life, continue to compete in the market place and even enter new markets. Enhancing the software in an existing product can giving you extra return on your original investment.

We are based in Woodbridge, Suffolk, England and can work with you wherever in England or the UK you are based, providing turnkey solutions or consultancy as required.
