We will provide a quotation that reflects this, allowing you to proceed with development with peace of mind. 【Features】 - Achieving low-budget system development through offshore development - Total support from system implementation to aftercare - Dispatch of bilingual engineers proficient in English and Japanese *For more details, please contact us or download our catalog to view.

• Email/Fax transmission

We provide optimal and high-quality development through collaborative design between the hardware team for FPGA development and the software team for OS porting/drivers development such as LINUX/VXWORKS. Additionally, by replacing discontinued devices with FPGA development, we achieve cost reduction. For high-quality FPGA development as a long-term maintenance measure for industrial equipment, please leave it to NDR. 【Features】 ● We develop compact and high-functionality products using ARM-integrated SoC FPGAs. ● We replace production devices with FPGAs in three stages. ● High-quality development through FPGAs achieves cost reduction.

• Other embedded systems (software and hardware)

What is important in system development is how thoroughly error handling has been validated. Especially in systems that control HDDs, such as RAID devices, data loss can lead to serious incidents. Commercially available HDDs are, of course, normal products, and to prevent them from entering abnormal states, most error handling validation must be conducted through logical simulation. This product is a system that enables actual verification using real targets of HDD-equipped systems. 【Features】 ● Users can freely generate any error at any timing they choose. ● In addition to generating normal errors at normal timings, abnormal errors can also be generated at abnormal timings (errors that typically occur only after data communication can also be generated before data communication).

• Development support tools (ICE, emulators, debuggers, etc.)

This system is a WiFi image transmission and reception system designed for situations where it is not desired or possible to install cables between the camera and the monitor. 【Features】 ● Displays images within 2 frames to ensure real-time performance for monitors located away from the camera. ● Generates/analyzes WiFi packets using hardware. ● No wiring is required between the camera and the monitor for image transfer via WiFi. ● Images are compressed/decompressed in JPEG format to reduce the amount of data transferred.
