ikeGPS design, develop and manufacture high end measurement hardware and software to manage one of the world’s most important invisible assets - the utility pole.
SmallHD on-camera and production field monitors provide exceptionally intuitive user interfaces coupled with advanced real time video transformations and analysis tools.
The Swiftpoint Z is a multiple-degrees-of-freedom gaming mouse designed to provide an unprecedented level of control to PC gamers and power users.
More examples of our device software engineering
Linux, ARM, U-Boot
We helped establish Linux platform support for a new product which utilised a small OLED display. Key elements within this work were creating a new display driver for the chosen UI framework and enabling fast system booting through U-Boot and Linux.
•
Linux, ARM
We helped resolve issues related to USB attached peripheral devices preventing Linux entering its suspend state on a battery powered device. We also provided an evaluation of options for further power consumption improvement.
•
AWS, Node.js, Linux
We assisted with the development of an IoT product development and operational platform. We focused on the device interaction and management aspects, including both the device side using Linux and Node.js and the cloud side using AWS services and Node.js.
•
Android, BLE, Web
We helped develop an Android app that communicates with an embedded device over Bluetooth LE. As another part of the larger overall project, we also provided assistance with the Web frontend (based on Vue.js)
•
Android, Linux, Git
We assisted in providing a stable Android OS platform for the product. We also worked on lower level device support as well as provided advice on specific challenges around source code handling and development processes.
Node.js, Linux, ESP32
We created a cloud-controlled e-ink display demo. For the e-ink controllers we utilised both Linux based devices (running a Node.js app) and ESP32 based microcontroller devices which communicated over Wifi with a cloud Node.js server and further integrated with other cloud services for user interaction.
•
Linux, ARM
We provided software support for audio in/out and HDMI in/out for a Linux powered device. This included enabling kernel driver support for the audio and HDMI peripheral devices and also adding GStreamer support for the audio and video streams.
•
USB, ARM
We developed the full firmware stack for a highly complex consumer USB HID product which has received an extremely positive market response. The product integrates a large number of peripheral devices. We also assisted with the low-level Windows and Mac USB support.
•
Git, GitLab, CI
We shared our experience in setting up a modern source management and build system suitable for use with complex multi-repository software projects which are typical in embedded device development.
•
iOS, Mac, BLE, USB
We developed firstly the iOS app and SDK, then secondly the Mac side software support for a new and unique Bluetooth LE HID device which has received rave reviews around the world since its launch.
Android, Linux
We assisted in providing software support for a new version of an existing product that was being updated to a new SOM (system on module). We were responsible for providing support for an updated Android OS version and assisting with driver level support for the new hardware.
•
USB
We performed an in-depth evaluation of a new light spectrum sensor part in order to explore its performance characteristics and provide recommendations on the viability of its potential use in a new device product type.
•
BLE, ARM, Android
We assisted with the design and implementation of a BLE based data transmission protocol for an embedded controller, and then helped take the product through Bluetooth certification. We also developed the embedded side Flash data storage mechanism, and provided a test Android BLE application.
•
Linux, ARM
We provided the final low-level software additions and adjustments needed to support the higher-level software requirements of a media server / system controller.
•
Linux, ARM
We provided the updates and improvements to a Linux powered factory test system in order to ensure ongoing smooth operation.
