Datalight announces support for Linux kernel versions up to 2.6.33, the most recently released Linux versions available. FlashFX Tera, the file-system independent flash memory manager and Reliance Nitro, the highly-reliable, high-performance file system offer much faster mount times than UBIFS, YAFFS, or JFFS2.

MPC Data, is proud to announce its new swiftBoot engineering services for embedded systems. Supporting Linux and uClinux on ARM, SH, MIPS & Blackfin based silicon MPC Data offers a range of services that will be able to dramatically decrease the boot time of your embedded Linux device.
Slow boot times are often unacceptable, particularly in consumer products where users expect almost immediate access to functionality.
The extended functionality that we have come to expect from embedded devices often calls for fully functional operating systems such as Linux. Unfortunately, such operating systems come with an additional boot time overhead.
With our advanced analysis techniques and experience in Linux tuning, boot times can be reduced in some cases to less than a second.
Our technical knowledge and real world product development experience has enabled us to gain a deep understanding of how Linux systems boot and how boot times can be optimized for any given platform or device.
Our fixed price investigation and report packages are tailored to suit your exact device requirements. Our experts will take your new or existing device and, using a holistic view of the product, see where boot performance improvements can be made. This may range from low level boot loader flash access changes through to manipulating userspace process initialisation, getting the device to a state of "On" and "Functional" as quickly as possible. This investigation will give you the information needed to drastically reduce your boot time.
Packages from £4,950 + VAT. Please contact us for further details and pricing.
