Pebble Bay is a member of the Freescale Design Alliance Program, a program that brings together knowledge and capabilities relating to Freescale’s range of microprocessors. As a result of this membership, Freescale was able to refer two significant European customers to Pebble Bay, to assist with major development projects.
Both projects have been based on processors from Freescale’s QorIQ family, running Linux and a commercial real-time operating system. Pebble Bay provided consulting services and software development services to both customers, helping to reducing risk and shorten project timescales.
“These recent projects continue a long history of working with real-time operating systems, device drivers and application programs on Freescale hardware, and their successful completion demonstrates our expertise in this area. We value our membership in the Freescale Design Alliance Program very highly and are delighted to be able to help Freescale customers outside the UK.”
