FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in Board Support Package (BSP) development?

BSP development involves kernel configuration, serial developer console setup, and enabling ADB debugging to ensure core device functionality. Essential features include dynamic UI screen refreshes for device state indication and kernel image optimization, which helps achieve faster boot times and reduced memory footprints for improved hardware performance.

Which connectivity protocols are supported in embedded device development?

Embedded systems typically support standard protocols like Bluetooth (BT), Wi-Fi, NFC, Zigbee, and GPS. These services include porting, stabilization, and driver development for various sensors and USB interfaces, alongside multimedia support for bringing up high-quality graphics, camera systems, and advanced audio-video configurations.

How does modem integration work for enterprise devices?

Modem integration involves combining Application Processors (AP) with modems across different chipsets while managing specific power and performance profiles. This process requires OEM and operator customizations, followed by rigorous validation and certification to ensure the device meets industry standards and provides ongoing maintenance and support.

What enterprise security features can Sasken implement for devices?

Sasken implements security features such as Android Security Management, Peripherals Policy Enforcement, and Mobile Device Management (MDM). These services include enterprise-grade customizations and application management, ensuring that specialized hardware—such as FIPS-compliant devices—meets the strict security and configuration requirements needed for professional environments.

What does the validation process for Sasken embedded software entail?

The validation process includes end-to-end testing across the entire product lifecycle, covering everything from the Board Support Package (BSP) to application firmware. This involves driver validation, protocol stack testing, and standard conformance certification to ensure high-performance reliability for enterprise and consumer-grade products.

How are power and performance managed in embedded systems?

Power and performance are managed by monitoring hardware rail points and profiling use cases like idle, off, or playback modes. Specialized tools such as Spartan, Xerxes, Logcat, and DDMS, as well as benchmarks like AnTuTu and SunSpider are used to optimize system performance, UI responsiveness, and browser efficiency while ensuring the device operates within defined power constraints.
