Technologies We Work With

Over the years we have worked with a wide range of technologies.  Even more importantly, we have learned how to learn, making it easy to pick up and use new technology when the situation calls for it.  We never force our designs to use only the technology we are familiar with.  We look for the best solution to every design problem, and we apply new technology when it is the best choice.

Here's a partial list of the technologies we have used recently:

Embedded video:

• Video processors
• MPEG4, JPEG, MJPEG
• File storage as well as streaming media
• Audio added to video stream
• low and high resolution camera sensors
• WiFi, Ethernet, USB connectivity

Network appliances:

• Network processors
• WiFi
• Ethernet
• Web page servers
• SMTP, FTP, email

Processors:

• Microprocessors & microcontrollers ( RISC, CISC, DSPs)
• 4-bit and 8-bit low power for battery applications
• 16-bit and 32-bit general purpose processors (ARM, ColdFire, many others)
• Video processors
• Network processors
• Memory (Flash, SDRAM)
• Common interconnects (USB, PCI, CompactFlash)

Other electronics we commonly work with:

• USB
• Wireless (Bluetooth, 915MHz & 2.4GHz radios)
• Battery-charging and management circuits
• A/D and D/A
• LCD displays
• Motor control
• Temperature monitoring and control

Embedded Firmware:

• Real-time embedded systems firmware
• Real-time operating systems (RTOS), including ThreadX & CMX
• Linux

PC software Applications:

• Windows applications and device drivers
• Engineering diagnostic applications
• Database applications
