SOFTWARE EXPERTISE

Software expertise is one of our core competences and has been an essential part of our success. Our developers have in-depth knowledge and experience in the following areas:

• Embedded systems development including bare-metal, RTOS and OS-based.
• Board-support Packages (BSPs), Hardware Abstraction Layers (HALs) and Device Drivers.
• Porting and optimising software between architectures
• Open-source technologies including Linux, SDKs, GCC, LLVM, QEMU Simulator and Eclipse based IDEs.
• Host-side development on Windows and Linux platforms.
• C/C++/Java/Assembly/Python programming languages.
• Embedded Graphical User Interfaces.
• Smart card OS, cryptography and application development.
• Supported architectures include Arm, ARC, MIPS, RISC-V, Power, Smartcards and Secure Controllers.

HARDWARE EXPERTISE

We design, develop and manufacture complete embedded hardware solutions and our engineers have in-depth knowledge and experience in the following areas:

• FPGA board level design (e.g. use of Xilinx UltraSCALE FPGAs).
• Chip emulation platforms:
  • Digital emulation using an FPGA.
  • Analog IO emulation (typically up to 16 channels each independently controlled).
  • Built-in direct host debug interface for emulated device via USB.

• FPGA VHDL and Verilog design.
• Reference and evaluation board design.
• Designs based on architectures such as Arm, ARC, MIPS, RISC-V, Power, Smartcards and Secure Controllers.
• Hardware debug and trace tools.
• Hardware prototype and volume manufacture.
• Validation and test.
