Embedded software and properly tuned device drivers are often key to a product's performance and with appropriate features, these modules can make the task of developing higher level applications easier and faster.
Polaris engineers have worked on a wide variety of platforms, including proprietary and commercial real time operating systems such as VxWorks, and more common platforms like Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris. Polaris can assist in the development of device drivers for a variety of products, including line cards on a router platform, NICs on a PC, etc. Network Equipment manufacturers could use these device drivers as part of their regular products----sales tools.
Current projects include device drivers for wireless LAN cards and embedded software on a Motorola micro-controller based platform for a Zigbee device.
Polaris engineers have extensive experience in developing network protocol stacks in embedded environments where compactness of code and performance is a key issue. Many devices (e.g., Wireless Access Points) use processors such as the StrongARM, PowerPC and MIPS, along with operating systems ranging from Windows CE or Embedded Linux to proprietary ones. Polaris engineers can assist in the development of protocol stacks - such as security protocols like TKIP, LEAP, WPA, etc. or application related ones like IEEE 802.15.4) - in these environments. |
