Pcb

This is more like a newbie computer engineering question. I am not asking how to build a complex PCB myself. Our company had a meeting today and I am appointed to look into embedding a webserver onto a piece of PCB.

At a business point of view, I'd guess most hardware companies would just purchase the piece of PCB they need for their application instead of re-designing themselves(considering the piece they need is not the core component of their product).

How does a company hardcode a certain software onto a piece of PCBoard? What is the usual procedure a company has to go through to create a PCB board? Any websites I should take a look?

I have no clue on where to start, what kind of guys to hire, and what should I tell them to do. Well, I guess they picked the wrong guy, but It will be great if I can pull this off.
Please help. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

What??? Who do you work for? and why would anyone think that you hardcode software onto PCB? You could build a circuit board with memory chips on it and flash your software onto this, but thats why they invented the CD Rom :confused: I just don't understand how this would come up in any typical buisness meeting? LOL you have me stumped. I have been in hardware engineering for over 10 years and this is surely a new one for me. Well good luck with your project (:rolleyes: Although if I was you I would pass it off to some fresh college kid :D ) ... Unless of course you are the fresh college kid they passed this on to. ;) :eek: :D
