Design Art Networks

The DAN3400 DSP and CPU control processor was a joint development between Design Art Networks

(now owned by Qualcom) and J.G. Design Solutions. Design Art specified the instruction set and within

six months we had developed the processor extensions for both cores to meet the required clock

frequency.

Tieto

At Tieto we helped implement a link level model of an LTE system. This was implemented in matlab with

a fully automated regression suite that produced nightly results in a web page for easy viewing.

Huawei

At Huawei we helped design some of the subsystems for base stations using configurable processors. This

involved designing the cores as well as implementing a full system model to analyze the data bandwidth

and latency.

Sony

J.G. Design Solutions developed the FreeSat middleware for the Sony Bravia television chassis. It was

designed to co-exist with the existing satellite TV middleware and was one of the first chassis to pass all

of the second generation FreeSat conformance tests.

Upzide Labs

We helped Upzide Labs develop a multi processor, multiport VDSL2 system based around 50 highly

configured Xtensa cores. Essentially, rather than RTL, there were six sequential heterogeneous processors

forming the VDSL data path. This was duplicated eight times to handle eight ports simultaneously and there

were also two extra processors, one system controller and one acting as the DMA engine.

Tensilica

John Massingham was one of the founder members of Tensilica Europe and as such we have done a number

of processor designs and data path accelerator designs for various customers.
