title: Is there a proper name for a program running on a microcontroller?
body: <p>I'm specifically referring to a C program that gets compiled into a binary and downloaded onto a microcontroller, which it then runs. Ex. When you upload an Arduino sketch. </p>
  
  <p>I know it's not a user-space program considering we don't have an OS. I feel like just a "program" or "application" isn't enough. </p>
  
  <p>Wikipedia <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcontroller" rel="nofollow">states</a> that </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Microcontrollers are designed for embedded applications [...]</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Which is the best name that I could come up with. I'm looking to put this on a resume, "Designed a(n) ______ for an ARM Cortex M4 Processor". <em>Embedded application</em>? <em>Standalone application</em>?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
