This course presents a methodology that speeds the development of embedded firmware. This training addresses the development issues of specifying requirements, 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. They get to the heart of embedded development challenges and tackle developer and management attitudes and introduce an environment and corporate culture in which rapid high quality embedded development can thrive.
