  2. Boot loader development

    Aftek has extensive expertise in boot loader development, porting, and customization on different architecture platforms.

    Aftek has experience in working with multiple boot loaders on different CPU architectures:

      • ARMboot
      • U-Boot
      • EBOOT
      • RedBoot™
      • AFTEKBoot (in house boot loaders)
      • Blob
      • UBL

  3. Operating system porting

    Aftek has extensive expertise operating systems porting. We have successfully ported operating systems for different architectures. It includes various flavors of Linux, uCos, eCos®, WinCE on several hardware architectures. Aftek's porting solutions guarantee optimal performance with low memory footprint.

    The client can leverage the BSP expertise of Aftek for porting the specified operating system for upcoming architectures. We also offer to port the operating system to any platform.

  4. File system development and optimization

    With the shrinking size of embedded devices and powerful processors coming up, operating systems and correspondingly file systems support have become highly essential. A well designed file system dictates the performance and reliability of the product to a larger extent.

    Over the years, Aftek has provided quality solutions in the file system arena. Aftek offers the following services to cater different client needs:

      • Development of file system
      • Optimization of existing files system to enhance performance and reliability

    Also, Aftek has been a key player in providing solutions related to proprietary file systems to suit client needs. These solutions have helped the client gain a phenomenal improvement in performance over the earlier file system.

    Aftek has worked on popular file systems including: JFFS, JFFS2, ROMFS, CRAMFS, YAFFS, custom FFS, RAMFS, FAT32, TFAT, EXT2, EXT3, and more.

  5. Testing and optimization

    Aftek offers a suite of comprehensive, proven, testing services; designed specifically for BSP and embedded devices. The services offered include test automation, test outsourcing, and test process consultancy; which include functional testing, regression testing, and performance testing. We achieve the best results by striking a balance between manual testing and automated testing. Our qualified test teams work closely with development engineers (in house or offshore). It helps to quickly identify and debug problems, and suggest methods that resolve issues quickly and effectively.

    Our engineers have extensive experience in driver performance optimization for various platforms and operating systems. Aftek will work with your existing drivers to dramatically improve their benchmark performance scores; thereby increasing total system performance.

    Practices like overnight testing and regression testing using automated tools and scripting helps to analyze the performance and the endurance of the product. The completeness of the testing is ensured as we have independent teams for hardware testing, driver testing, and application testing. Our expert recommendations have helped clients to accomplish the results on time. In addition to black box testing; we also review, analyze, and optimize the source codes to achieve defect free product.
