All Hardware/Firmware Integration
Problems Have Solutions -
Is Yours a Good One?

Are you having problems getting firmware working with your ASIC, FPGA, SoC, or ASSP? Is your product among the more than 55 percent that will be delivered late? Are you incurring costs of more than $1,000,000 and an 8-week delay to respin your chip? Do you tend to come up with band-aid fixes that cost you in the long run?

If you don't want to keep revisiting the same problems over and over, then we are the people to call. Ask about our free ˝-hour consultation. We specialize in the hardware/firmware interface, from the early planning and development phases to the turn-on and integration phases. We create efficient and integrated solutions that increase productivity and quality, and reduce respins, delays, and costs.

“Thanks for doing such a great job of establishing for me a firmware driver mindset that can play an important role in our ASIC design decisions.” Jack Meador, Hewlett-Packard Co.

How can we help you address your hardware/firmware integration challenges? Here are a few ideas.
