Embedded Systems

Terry has a long history of embedded systems development, primarily in Storage and Networking product development. He was the lead designer on early internet (actual, arpanet back then) connectivity devices, using X.25, HDLC, SDLC and async interfaces. He also developed both network and storage interface systems for Encore Computer's Multimax, one of the first "super-mini" multi-processor computers running Unix. Terry has also developed high performance data network hardware/software systems supporting Fibre Channel, SSA, SCSI and SATA. He was the primary architect for Pathlight Technologies' SAN Gateway products, and ADIC's high performance FC network systems. He also led development at Xyratex in the development of high performance RAID controllers.

Recent Embedded product developments by Newforce Solutions include:

  • Embedded controller for management of an Active Magnetic Field Compensation system. This work included implementation of an embedded web site, hardware interfacing with a CPLD and DSP subsystems.
  • Design of a medical training simulator for veterinary students.
  • Embedded system for musicians to provide a web based song book and integrate with an external MIDI drum machine or other MIDI devices. The system automatically loads the drum machine program based on the song selected on the web site and then provides the time base for MIDI devices.

Web Page and Application Design

Newforce Solutions has considerable experience in the development of web pages and web based applications. Our developments have included:

  • Web Based Educational Software for Early Learning.
  • An integrated system for sales and process management for a company providing lab testing services.
  • A tunneling based service interface to allow remote management and diagnostics of embedded systems.
  • General web sites and web stores.

Languages and Processors

We have experience in a wide range of embedded and systems processors including x86, XScale/PXA, ARM, Cavium, ATmega, PIC. We work in C, C++, PHP, JavaScript and various assembly languages. We have extensive development experience with Linux, in systems work and embedded designs and in high performance and real-time systems.
