Products for Freescale processors

SDC Systems are able to provide many of the software components required for solutions using Power Architecture (PowerPC) and ARM based processor and SoC devices from Freescale Semiconductor.

MontaVista Embedded Linux MSDs for Power Architecture and i.MX processors

MontaVista Linux 6 is a new approach to embedded Linux development that helps developers deliver commercial-ready devices faster. The core of MVL6 is the Market Specific Distribution (MSD) that takes the Linux kernel and user land packages appropriate to the processor or SoC and provides them tested and integrated together.

MVL6 provides MSDs for the MPC8315, MPC8349, MPC8377, MPC8536, KMPC8548, MPC8569, MPC8572, QorIQ P2020 and MPC5121 SoC using Linux kernel versions from 2.6.27 to 2.6.31 along with collections suited to the specific market of each device. MVL6 also provides MSDs for the i.MX35 and i.MX51 SoC devices using the 2.6.28 Linux kernel. These full featured SoC devices include the xxxxx collections. For more information on MontaVista Linux 6 visit the MontaVista product page.

Mocana Device Security Framework for Power Architecture processors

Many of the members of the QorIQ and PowerQUICC processor families include a security engine IP block (SEC) that can increase the speed of cryptographic calculations giving an acceleration to protocols such as SSL, SSH and IPSec by a factor of 20x or even 30x. For more information on the Freescale acceleration harness and other security products from Mocana visit the Mocana product page.

ALT Software OpenGL drivers for Power Architecture processor boards

Within the aerospace and defence sector many projects used Power Architecture processors, GPUs from ATI/AMD or Fujitsu and a real-time operating system such as VxWorks or Integrity.

Where this combination of hardware and software meets ALT Software can provide OpenGL graphics drivers and libraries which can, if needed, be certified to DO-178B level A. For more information on ALT Software OpenGL drivers for graphics controllers being used with Power Architecture based processor boards visit the ALT Software product page.

Kozio POST and manufacturing diagnostics tests for Freescale processors

The kPOST and kDiagnostics products from Kozio provide manufacturing and power on self tests for Power Architecture and ARM based devices from Freescale Semiconductor. These can be tailored quickly and easily to your target hardware platform and can save many man-months of development effort over writing your own test code. For more information on the diagnostics products available from Kozio visit the Kozio product page.

Services for Freescale processors

Our experienced firmware and operating system specialists can provide porting services and support to take the core software from the Freescale reference platforms to your bespoke hardware designs.

Hardware enablement

Whether your system uses U-Boot or other boot firmware engineers at SDC Systems can port the refererence code to your target hardware platform.

As embedded engineers, the staff at SDC Systems are very aware that your platform may need to have some unique features implemented at the firmware level and have extensive experience in making this a reality. For more information on the Professional Services available from SDC Systems visit the Professional Services pages.

Embedded Linux customisation and porting

Engineers at SDC Systems are proficient in adapting Linux to Freescale processor based hardware platforms using MontaVista Linux 6 and Open Embedded. If you are considering using Linux on your next design then let us show you how we can help. For more information on the Professional Service available from SDC Systems visit the Professional Services pages and for more information on using Linux in embedded systems visit the embedded Linux page.

Windows Embeddeded customisation and porting

SDC Systems have over 10 years experience working with Windows CE and can help port the generic board support packages for i.mx SoC devices to your target hardware.

With our knowledge and expertiese we can easily port the standard drivers and board support packages to your target hardware and develop any system specific device drivers that are required.
