In the engineering world one's past accomplishments are a good indicator of what might be expected in the future. We're justifiably proud of the company we keep and our contribution to the industry, and we think that our record speaks for itself. Here is a list of some of our customers, their projects and a brief description of part of our contribution to the effort.
Cylink Corporation
Project: The Cylink CY8300 IPSec high-performance security processor
Design the instruction set for the CY8300 internal CPUs (dual RISK processors) Write and document the CY8000 Cross Assembler (Hosted on Windows NT, Sun Solaris, and Linux) Develop the CPU functional validation test suite using the CY8300 assembly language Develop the CPU simulation environment using Verilog HDL & PLI Perform validation simulation using both the Verilog "NCSim" environment and on prototype hardware Write an IPSec Datagram generation/encryption utility for packet generation, encryption/decryption (using DES, TDES, & SHA-1) and authentication (using SHA-1, MD5, HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-MD5, & DES-MAC)
DMC Stratex Networks
Project: The Spectrum and Altium product lines, high-capacity wireless communication platforms (i.e., microwave radios) Add SNMP Agent support to the highly successful Spectrum II radio Design and implement the control algorithm for unit failure detection and recovery Resolve numerous integration and configuration issues from legacy code Port legacy code base to the new Altium hardware platform and map a maintenance path for the future Integrate and resolve issues with HTTP Server and Network Management User Interface web page Work with the QA team to characterize outstanding functionality issues Occasionally, as experienced software engineering consultants a we are called on to provide more than firmware development services. For this particular client, for example, this involved providing department management and development team strategic advice for the Director of Software Engineering. It also meant serving as mentor and tutor for programmers of all experience levels.
