Cadenux Engineering Services

Last Updated: 04 May 2004

In addition to providing integrated and tested Linux board support packages, Cadenux also offers an array of engineering services.

"Is Linux Right For You?" Technical Analysis

If you are considering switching to Linux as the embedded operating system in your product, Cadenux can provide a technical analysis to assist you in making an informed decision. See Technical Analysis for more details.

Premium Linux Board Support Package

The premium Board Support Package includes a fixed number of hours of custom engineering services performed at a Cadenux facility. The custom engineering hours have a six month term and can be used to tailor the BSP with the drivers and performance characteristics your product requires. Cadenux will need to be provided with verified hardware and documentation in order to perform some some custom engineer services.

Custom Hardware Porting

The Board Support Package comes pre-configured to build and run on a standard hardware reference platform. Cadenux can create a customized configuration and enhance the software so the BSP will build and run as easily on your hardware design as it does the standard hardware reference platforms. Cadenux requires verified hardware and documentation to be able to port the BSP to your hardware.

Driver Development

In addition to the extensive driver offering, Cadenux can port or develop a driver for your hardware design. Often the driver already exists and just needs to be ported to your hardware layout. Occasionally, the hardware is new enough that an entirely new driver needs to be developed. In either case, Cadenux can provide you with the drivers needed by your product. Cadenux requires verified hardware and documentation to be able to develop drivers for your hardware.

Performance Tuning

As your product development reaches the functionality complete milestone, you may identify performance bottlenecks. Cadenux can help analyze performance issues and tune the system to achieve the performance needed to make the product successful. Cadenux requires verified hardware, access to the software (under NDA), and documentation to be able to analyze and tune your product.

Training

If your engineering team is new to embedded Linux, we offer training to provide the information required for the team to become productive quickly. Each training secession is tailored to the questions and needs of the engineering team. The training is hands-on with each participate using a development workstation to verify they have a solid understanding how to develop software using the BSP.

Application Development

Cadenux also provides application development services. Please contact us with your specific requirements.
