BSP and Device Driver Development

Operating systems and boot loading software often use a hardware abstraction layer (HAL) to make the core operating system independent of the underlying hardware architecture. A board support package implements the HAL abstraction for a specific operating system for a new board to which the OS is to be ported. This is often referred to as board-startup or board-bringup.

Sankhya has rich experience in the development and maintenance of BSPs that run from RAM or ROM (Flash, EPROM) for different target platforms.
