A Unix utility to generate management and configuration data for a networked EPOS system.
Development Skill: Application
Development of a portable scientific data logger designed to be easy to use in a school classroom. Features include 2-button operation, data stored on removable memory cards, automatic scaling and adjustment of sampling rate depending on available memory.
Development Skill: Embedded Comms Protocols Time critical
A (portable) Java application for switch management.
Development Skill: Java application
Porting a large and complex Windows NT-based PABX server to Unix/Linux. An initial investigation phase at MPC Data took full advantage of our extensive knowledge of multiple operating systems to devise the optimum porting strategy. As a result we were able to complete the porting task in significantly less time than our customer had estimated.
Development Skill: Unix application
Multi-user DECT base communications system with DSP based base station and PIC based belt packs. Currently being deployed by a major international fast food chain.
Development Skill: Embedded Comms Protocols Time critical
Soft Modem, implemented by porting code from a stand-alone external modem to a set-top box environment. The Z80 8-bit single-tasking dedicated code that managed a modem data pump required extensive re-working to the co-operative multi-tasking 32-bit environment.
The code was enhanced for bi-directional V.23 operation in addition to V.22 and V.22bis. Performance of the software was critical to this development to ensure the modem operation did not occupy more than the minimum CPU bandwidth and ensure that interrupt latencies were not too onerous on the rest of the system.
