Team-Based Firmware Development Course

This course presents a methodology that speeds the development of embedded firmware. This training addresses the development issues of specifying requirements, estimating schedules, identifying risks, and creating a quality design. Netrino's experienced programmers and managers have, however, put together a program that goes beyond such traditional instruction. Thus the Team-Based Firmware Development course gets to the heart of embedded development challenges and tackles developer and management attitudes and frustrations. Along the way, we outline the processes and team structures in which rapid high quality firmware development repeatably occurs.
