Hardware-Software Integration overview
Milestone-driven workflow for bringing up software on new or revised hardware revisions, validating that firmware, drivers, and application layers function correctly on the physical device. The embedded engineer and systems integration engineer jointly review the hardware bring-up checklist, flash the latest firmware, and execute a structured test sequence covering peripherals, communication buses, power states, and timing margins. Defects are triaged against hardware errata and software bugs, with root-cause classification informing whether fixes land in firmware, drivers, or board revisions.
