FAQ
How does IoT firmware differ from embedded software?

Embedded software is more flexible and can tackle all sorts of tasks, even working with other software. Firmware, though, is more specialized. It’s not as flexible because it handles specific, low-level tasks.

What tools are best for IoT firmware development?

It depends on the industry you’re in. For home automation, use C, C++, or Python. Leverage C, Assembler, and Rust for industrial IoT and C, C++, and MATLAB for healthcare.

Can you update IoT firmware remotely?

Absolutely! IoT firmware can be updated remotely using over-the-air (OTA) updates.

What is the scope of tasks for IoT firmware development?

It’s a mix of tasks like coding, testing, integrating with hardware, and dealing with IoT firmware challenges like security.

How long does it take to develop IoT firmware?

The timeline depends on the project’s complexity — simple ones might take a few weeks, but if it’s a more advanced system, you’re looking at several months.
