Documentation

Our team has experience with development tools from Synopsys, Exemplar, Synplicity, Model Technology, Cadence, Verisity, Xilinx, Lucent and others. See our links page for more information about these tools.

Our ASIC designs have integrated ARM and other CPU cores with ARM AHB and AHB-lite, PCI, USB and other interfaces to provide efficient ASIC solutions for our customers. In addition to many other FPGA designs, we have implemented designs in Xilinx Virtex FPGAs for proof of concept prior to ASIC manufacture.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

For network-connected embedded applications we can offer Conix, our own in-house developed operating system with a very small footprint. Conix is deployed in set-top boxes and industrial control computers, and is designed to be easily portable to a wide variety of hardware environments.

Other software services available include:

Porting of Linux, Conix and other operating systems
Device driver design for Linux, Conix and Microsoft Windows
Integration of hardware and software within an ASIC or product.

ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT
