Linux (and Android) Porting and Contract Development
SDG Systems offers development services for mobile solutions. We specialize in Linux device porting, device drivers, Android and QtEmbedded customizations. Our expertise also includes barcode scanning and communication devices. We can also provide development services for a wide range of operating environments. SDG Systems has ported Linux to approximately 10 ARM-based platforms, including the Trimble Recon and Nomad with other platforms coming soon. SDG Systems worked with Sharp Electronics to implement the Sprint 1xRTT Modem Manager. We also worked with Socket Communications to develop drivers for the Socket In-Hand Scan Card. Our customers tell us that we are responsive and technically adept. Here is what one of our customers, Tripod Data Systems' Bob Puckette had to say.
"SDG ported Linux onto the TDS Recon an impressively short amount of time. On our side we were quite concerned that we'd be signing up for an extensive amount of support. Our fear was that our unusual hardware would be so far off the beaten track that the Linux port would be a big challenge and our team would end up distracted by a stream of questions from SDG. Also a concern was the treatment of our intellectual property. A few of us whipped up a documentation package in a few days as a guide to the system hardware and our tools for building/loading software images onto the Recon. Subsequent to the documentation there were a few, well considered questions and reports of efficient and rapid progress towards the running of Linux. SDG was quite attentive to protecting those parts of our design that we didn't want exposed. As we made extensive modifications to the base design, SDG was able to capitalize on our new features without burdening our R&D with many queries. In the case of our WiFi module, SDG probably understands the workings of it much better than we do ourselves."

Value Reselling
SDG Systems has worked for several years on various handheld computers. We have done complete Linux ports to new hardware platforms, such as the Trimble Nomad, as well as enhancements to other platforms. This work gives us an intimate understanding of the hardware and operating system environment. We have extensive experience with multiple operating systems, but we specialize in the Linux® operating system.
Here is what one of our customers, Drakontas LLC, had to say.
"After a thorough investigation of the hardware platforms available we selected the TDS Recon for our project with Drexel University's Department of Public Safety. It offered the best combination of functionality, form factor and ruggedness," said James Sim, President and COO of Drakontas. "Additionally, the support we received from SDG Systems was invaluable. Our situational awareness software application "DragonForce" is Linux-based. Finding a partner to assist us with the hardware and operating system we use is a huge plus for our operation. We look forward to expanding this relationship as our project needs increase in the coming year."
