Open source software has quickly become an industry dilemma. One faction supports the break of monopoly of proprietary software while the other faction argues that without customers paying, who will support the development. Stuck in this dilemma are the silicon manufacturers who are grappling with the challenge of providing add on tools to their silicon that can give them the competitive advantage when it comes to showcasing their product to the customer.

As a technology partner, we help OEMs deliver a chip with in built tools that give the end customer a far more enriching experience. For some of our customers, we provide them with a complete set of GNU Tools to accompany their chipsets at shipping. This ‘boxed’ service from us also extends to fully functional and maintained websites that can support direct access to end customers.
