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. 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.

The new office, located on the very edge of the Microsoft technology campus in Redmond, will enable even closer collaboration with Microsoft business teams and cement MPC Data’s position as one of the leading Windows Embedded Gold Partners in the North American market. “Our new office will help us better serve our current and future customers. This 10 fold increase in floor space will not only allow us to expand our US workforce but also enable us to provide a dedicated training suite as well as extensive test labs and conference facilities” continued Breeze. MPC Data Inc has grown by more than 300% since its establishment at the end of 2008 and is looking to increase its growth by a similar amount during 2010. With the new office comes a new phone number : +1 425 250 1545.

The combination of flash device management and the latest Datalight high reliability Reliance 'Nitro' flash file systems bring industrial grade protection of your embedded device's data. FlashFX Tera is a flash management solution that frees developers from the volatility and constraints of single-source flash memory software. Versatility allows fast integration with over 300 flash chip part numbers. Dynamic chip select provides run-time flexibility of using just one driver image, saving money and lowering supply-line risks during production. Pre-written support includes SLC and MLC NAND and NOR parts from top manufacturers (Intel, Micron, Samsung, Toshiba, Numonyx and Spansion), fusion flash (such as Samsung OneNAND, FlexOneNAND or Spansion OrNAND), and application processor flash controllers (like Freescale MX and Texas Instruments OMAP). Our high performance, multi-threaded flash drivers provide superior wear-leveling, bad block management, garbage collection and fast read/write speeds. MPC Data has collaborated with Datalight engineers to develop a compelling demonstration platform for the Datalight flash filesystems using the popular BeagleBoard hardware based on the high-performance Texas Instruments OMAP3530 device. Our Windows CE6.0 R2 board support package for the BeagleBoard is configured to run the same demo application using the stock Windows CE filesystem compared to Datalight's Reliance Nitro. The video below illustrates why you should pay close attention to the integrity of your data on consumer, mobile and battery powered devices. swiftBoot Delivers sub-second embedded boot speeds 28/02/2010
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.
