Custom Linux device driver development
- - we developed drivers for custom hardware based on a Freescale (now NXP) i.MX31 ARM CPU
- - we worked closely with the client's hardware engineering team to understand the underlying hardware design
- - we helped the client transition from RTOS development by implementing userspace C libraries wrapping the Linux device drivers

Set Top Box performance optimisation
- - we ported the Linux Trace Toolkit to the platform and added custom instrumentation to help determine system bottlenecks
- - poorly-implemented I2C drivers were identified as a performance hotspot
- - we implemented a new I2C chip driver for the MIPS SoC, resulting in a 100% performance improvement in I2C transaction times, and a noticeable improvement in overall system responsiveness
