SPI Driver

SPI-Treiber to retrofit the native SPI BUS on the board.

.NET Drivers

Driver package for retrofitting, consists of C# drivers (I²C/ SPI/ CAN).

UpDate Software

This program package allows a safe and easy update of the application program and the operating system via USB-Stick or SD-Card. Blackouts and other interferences during the update are considered.

Custom Kernel

Creation of a customer-specific kernel. WindowsCE components are set as the customer requests, as well as the registry entries (e.g. display). Customer-supplied software can also be added.

Safe Filesystem (F3S)

F&S has developed the Failsafe Flash Filesystem F3S. It offers transaction safety on file level and therefore guarantees the consistency of the data, even in case of a blackout or other interferences while writing. F&S was awarded with the embedded AWARD 2008 (Software) for F3S.
