    Linux Porting
   
  1. Linux is gaining in popularity in embedded systems. Many commercial vendors specialize in porting Linux to embedded systems. Until now, most embedded operating systems have been proprietary. If a new processor was designed and developed by a semiconductor company, they had to depend on an operating system company to port their operating system to the new processor. The other issue was with the development tools (compiler, debugger, simulator, and so on) for the given processor. Usually the operating system company also provided these tools. In addition, the peripherals around the processor required drivers that had to be developed for the specific operating system.
  2. With the introduction of Linux into the embedded sphere, it has now become possible for the semiconductor company to port an operating system to a new processor, since the source code for the Linux kernel is available as open source. Well experienced team of engineers at Dexcel has mastered porting Linux on a wide variety of hardware and thus can help you work faster and smarter.
   
Our embedded expertise covers application development and optimization over a wide range of platforms. Competencies in processor dependent assembly level optimization of code and real-time multi-threaded application development allows us to optimize software against speed/ memory limitations and real time performance requirements for wide range of products used in areas of networking & communication, digital media and wireless.
