We are your partner for designing and realising your embedded or mobile software project. kernel concepts offers:
Integration of software components and creation of customized operating system
distributions based on Open Source technologies.
Take advantage from our long term experience with mobile applications and systems! We started the GPE Open Source project in 2001 and take part in the development of Maemo/Hildon since 2004. Starting in 2006 we work as part of an international team on the design and implementation of GPE Phone Edition, a complete open source software stack for mobile phones based on LiPS specications.
Based on these and other technologies we can help you to create a mobile application according to your specification, either parts of it or as a whole.
We have experience with mobile data acquisition, mobile data transmission, network analysis, geographic information systems (GIS) and digital picture processing. Of course we are also open to co-operate with partners of these areas if the project requires it.
Although many embedded and mobile platforms look similar from the above they are different enough to not allow applications to work out of the box. Which can be minor adoptions to new hardware interfaces, new architectures or ports between changed APIs.
We know about many of the pitfalls and are able to help porting your application in many cases both when porting between different processor types and when porting between different base system types (e.g. glibc <-> uclibc).
If you want to create your own mobile or embedded hardware product we can do or help you to develop the necessary drivers and Linux kernel customisations.
We are able to support your development including support for planning your hardware - in many cases this can save a lot of development cost since minor changes of the hardware design can have major impact on the software.
We develop drivers according to your needs and specifications. We can consult you based on years of experience in this area.
We can consult your project from a very early stage, already starting with the planning phase of your project in order to create an optimized solution for reaching your goals. Though our main development focus is on the software side very often also software imposes requirements on the hardware and vc. vs.
To create the most effective embedded system it is desirable that hardware and software work together in the most efficient and effective way, including cost factors like development cost and time, time to market and hardware cost.
Equipped with a modern electronics workshop we can offer prototype and low-volume manufacturing and testing.
Our know-how is focused on:
