Frequently Asked Questions

Sasken supports multiple operating systems such as Android, Windows, and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS). Their expertise covers development across the hardware abstraction layer, firmware, and driver development, ensuring compatibility and high performance across various device platforms including wearables and enterprise-grade devices.
Multimedia and connectivity services include the bring-up and stabilization of graphics, camera, audio, and video components. Technical teams handle hardware abstraction layer (HAL) adaptation, component & driver development, platform integration, and the porting of protocols like Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee to ensure seamless device communication and high-quality multimedia performance.
Wearable device power optimization is achieved through sensor integration, low-power connectivity, and minimal user interface (UI) applications. These strategies help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) ensure that compact devices maintain battery efficiency while providing necessary functionalities, such as health tracking or communication, without frequent recharging.
Board Support Package development includes kernel configuration, serial developer console setup, and Android Debug Bridge (ADB) debugging enablement. The process focuses on optimizing kernel images for faster boot times and smaller memory footprints, while also implementing dynamic UI screen refreshes to accurately indicate real-time device states.
The modem integration process involves combining application processors with modems across various chipsets, including specific customizations for manufacturers and operators. This technical workflow ensures optimal power and performance, followed by rigorous validation, certification, and ongoing maintenance to support global standards and network compatibility.
Embedded software testing covers end-to-end validation across the product lifecycle, including firmware, operating systems, and driver validation. Specialized testing is also performed for protocol stacks, multimedia algorithms, and standard conformance to ensure devices meet strict industry certification requirements and operate reliably in diverse real-world scenarios.
