Technology Areas

Embedded Systems Architecture

  • System design & Architecture for complex multi-core, multi-domain SOC & board designs.
  • System design for Real time systems to achieve critical goals: Real time latencies, Deterministic application behaviour, memory partitioning, CPU partitioning.
  • Deep expertise in processor architectures: ARM 64-bit, ARM 32-bit, PowerPC etc.

Linux, RTOS & System Software

  • Linux kernel & u-boot development/Porting for new silicon or board.
  • Per-silicon OS/boot-loader/drivers development for pre-silicon SOC stage.
  • Real time Linux design & development – RT drivers, Linux RT tuning, RT applications/
  • Real time operating systems – FreeRTOS, Zephyr.

Yocto & Production board support Packages (BSP)

  • Yocto based BSP development and porting for wide variety of SOCs like STM32 family SOCs, NXP i.MX8 & i.MX9 family SOCs.
  • Develop Reliable BSPs so that the customer’s team can focus on their strength. This helps shortening time to market for startups working in Areas of Drones, Edge gateways, Robotics, Edge AI products.

Device Drivers & Hardware abstraction layers

  • Device driver development for wide range of peripherals: PCIe, Ethernet, WIFI, SPI, I2C, RF transceivers, DMA, DSP Accelerators, Network Accelerators.
  • Multimedia drivers V4L2, Camera sensor Integration.
  • Low level software & hardware interaction design including critical things like Real time, Interrupt, HW/SW Synchronization design.
  • Accelerator hardware (DSP, Network etc) driver development
  • Bare metal software.

Wireless communication – SDR, Mesh Networks, Non-cellular 5G networks

  • SDR (Software defined Radio) based wireless applications
  • RFIC and RF Front end driver development for RFICs from Analog devices (ADI), Skyworks, Qorvo, Movandi, Lime Microsystems etc,
  • RF calibration and performance measurement and improvements.
  • DECT-NR Mesh network

Custom OS Distribution for Hypervisors & Physical Appliance

  • Secure & fully customised Linux based Operating system distribution for Hypervisors (VMware, Nutanix, Hyper-V) & Physical sever platforms
  • Designed with CIS intent, and secure by design by including best practices like Immutable File systems, Hardened OS kernel & Application services, Secure boot chain.
  • Best suited for Secure Gateways Running on VM or Physical hardware. These servers can’t afford to use a generic Desktop OS and expose a large Attack surface.

Industrial & Transportation Systems

  • Deterministic, long-lifecycle embedded systems targeted for Railway, IIOT applications
  • Railway diagnostics, onboard control systems (ORMS), Signalling Remote diagnostic systems (RDPMS)
  • Connected industrial IoT gateways.
