Products
Reusable, reliable, platform-independent device drivers and software with detailed architecture and design ready to be integrated.
Board Support Package (BSP)
Board Support Package (BSP) help to speed up the development process, whether for application software or device drivers. The BSP implements all peripherals available on the MCU with highly dynamic configuration and makes all available peripheral channels accessible. It can be used in both worlds, RTOS and bare-metal, and is compatible between C and C++ programming. It was developed with the C99 standard.
Our list of available BSPs is limited by MCUs with different architectures, currently we support MIPS and ARM Cortex-M. However, our experience shows that projects only need a certain selection of MCUs, but with stable, well-tested and highly configurable BSPs and HAL interfaces that can be safely used with RTOS. Each BSP comes with a sample program and a software design document for evaluation purposes.

“Our BSP implementation makes the initialization of peripherals such as system clock, GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, etc. really easy. It has similarities with Arduino, but with full control over the functions and possibilities of the microcontroller.”
Real-Time Operating System (RTOS)
Each OS variant was implemented on the basis of our generic and reusable Operating System Abstraction Layer (OSAL). This architecture ensures the portability of the operating system and minimizes the integration risks and the effort required for the transition to another operating system variant.
FreeRTOS
The FreeRTOS kernel was originally developed by Richard Barry around 2003, and was later developed and maintained by Barry’s company, Real Time Engineers Ltd. In 2017, the firm passed stewardship of the FreeRTOS project to Amazon Web Services (AWS) – view details
“Every OS implementation follows our standardized OSAL, which makes the adaptation and use of RTOS very easy. Switching to a different OS variant is trivial and minimizes integration risk and effort.”
Sensor and Device Drivers
The list of our device and sensor drivers grows over weeks. They are fully tested and have complete documentation on performance, code size, code coverage and, more importantly, their limitations and known issues. The sensor and device drivers are built on our hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and are therefore platform independent. Custom sensor and device drivers are welcome on request.
