Hardware / Software Interfacing
With our varied experience in hardware design, embedded systems, software applications,
and database design, we can offer the "glue" to tie complex
systems together.
In the area
of Hardware / Software Interface Design, Gunn Systems provides:
- Operating
System Drivers.
- Software
for testing hardware.
- Software
for configuring and downloading programs or data to hardware.
- Embedded
Microprocessor Interfaces.
- Custom
Hardware and/or Firmware Interfaces.
- Embedded
Firmware and Software Services.
Experience
Gunn Systems
has experience with many interface technologies, including:
| |
X10
Powerline Interface |
| |
Gunn
Systems has extensive experience with the X10
home automation interface. We have developed software drivers
and embedded firmware to talk to the CM11A X10 controller from X10.
Please contact us for more information
about Linux and Embedded interfaces to the X10 interface. |
| |
SCSI
Interface |
| |
Gunn
Systems personnel were instrumental to the development
of the SCSI-2 (Small Computer Systems Interface) standard and RAID
technology. We have developed many test programs and operating-system-level
programs to control and configure the SCSI interface and RAID sub-systems.
We have experience with ASPI, EATA, I2O, and other direct interfaces
to SCSI host adapters. |
| |
RS-232,
RS-422, and RS-485 Serial Interfaces |
| |
Gunn
Systems has developed designs meeting both hardware interfacing and
software requirements for these interfaces. |
| |
TCP/IP
and Sockets |
| |
Gunn
Systems has used TCP/IP on many projects to transfer data between
applications and field equipment over Ethernet and through the Internet. |
| |
RS-LINX© |
| |
Gunn
Systems has used this tool by Rockwell
Software to communicate to Allen/Bradley controllers, and has
also used the SDK to develop custom applications. |
Examples
of Interfacing Solutions Provided
| |
SCSI
Test Software |
Gunn
Systems developed a set of SCSI disk testing and benchmarking software
for a major supplier of SCSI disk adapters. This set included a high
performance disk benchmark program that communicated directly to 45
SCSI disk drives through low-level hardware interfacing. This test
suite used ASPI, EATA, and I2O interfacing to the SCSI bus. |
| |
Hardware
Configuration Program |
Gunn
Systems developed a configuration application for downloading to an
embedded controller configuration information for storage in EEPROM
and for downloading new firmware. |
| |
Production
Testing Program |
Gunn
Systems developed a production test program for a manufacturer to
test a shipping product. This application had a windowing-type interface
and talked directly to PC hardware for automated testing. |
| |
IC
Driver Development Kit |
Gunn
Systems developed a driver development kit for a major manufacturer
of interface ICs. This kit contained sample source code to develop
drivers to interface to the IC. |
| |
X10
Active X Interface |
Gunn
Systems developed an Active X control to interface a custom program
with X10-based devices for home automation. For more information, please Contact Gunn Systems. |
