EMBEDDED LINUX • REAL-TIME • CONNECTED SYSTEMS
Digital Data Software LLC designs, integrates and maintains open-source software solutions for connected equipment requiring predictable performance, robust hardware support and long product lifecycles.
01 / ENGINEERING EXPERTISE
We combine low-level hardware knowledge with embedded Linux and application engineering to reduce integration risk across the complete software platform.
01
Digital Data Software provides rugged Linux platforms using PREEMPT_RT or Xenomai when applications need bounded latency and predictable behavior. We also help migrate existing pSOS and VxWorks applications so proven software can be reused on modern Linux systems.
02
We integrate low-latency industrial and embedded communication stacks including CANopen, Modbus, PROFIBUS, POWERLINK, EtherCAT and BACnet, alongside custom USB drivers and Wi-Fi or Bluetooth integration.
03
We engineer embedded HMI, multi-display, audio/video capture and camera solutions, combining Qt applications, hardware-accelerated C/C++ image-processing pipelines and embedded AI video processing. Our approach integrates edge AI inference, real-time video analytics and optimized camera-to-display workflows tailored to the target SoC, GPU, NPU and performance constraints.
LinRT • BY DIGITAL DATA SOFTWARE
LinRT is our Real-Time Linux Yocto BSP family for connected and critical embedded systems. It combines long-term Linux foundations with real-time execution options, hardware enablement and engineering support for NXP i.MX and other qualified platforms.
Real-time Linux integration with mainline-friendly APIs and a maintainable Yocto BSP.
Hard real-time execution options, RTDM device drivers and POSIX-oriented application migration.
EVL-based real-time architecture for demanding latency-sensitive embedded applications.
02 / KINGSAIL SOFTWARE STACKS
KingSail Software brings together the KSFramework family of high-performance, real-time-oriented C++ communication stacks for industrial, embedded and maritime systems, engineered by Digital Data Software LLC.
Designed for low-latency I/O and predictable operation, KSFramework emphasizes a common, modular C++ architecture, reusable driver abstractions and deployment across diverse MCUs, boards and host systems. Target environments include Linux, Yocto-based Linux, Zephyr RTOS and Microsoft Windows. Actual OS, MCU and driver availability varies by stack and release.
Shared APIs across Linux, Yocto Linux, Zephyr RTOS and Microsoft Windows.
Replaceable transport and device drivers for heterogeneous boards and MCUs.
Low-latency paths, controlled execution overhead and predictable communication.
CAN and CAN FD integration today; CAN XL support is an engineering roadmap item, not a blanket release claim.
Portable C++17 CAN communication foundation, engineered for low-latency embedded and host integration.
CANopen-oriented industrial communication layer within the portable KSFramework architecture.
NMEA 2000-oriented communication layer for responsive marine electronics and gateways.
Portable NMEA 0183 serial-data components for dependable onboard communication.
High-performance network transport framework connecting embedded applications and CAN interfaces over IP, with secure transport options.
Engineering scope: KSFramework targets multi-OS, multi-driver and multi-MCU portability across its stack family. Feature maturity, security modes, platform coverage and timing guarantees must be validated for each stack, hardware target and release. CAN XL support is currently presented as a planned extension.
03 / SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
Our team supports customers throughout the development of connected real-time systems, from architecture and hardware enablement to the software platform that hosts the final application.
Strong hardware expertise combined with Yocto and open-source development enables us to build optimized Linux platforms, integrate board-specific features and provide customers with a maintainable software baseline.
BSPWe analyze real-time constraints, select the appropriate Linux execution model, tune scheduling and I/O paths, and support migration of legacy pSOS or VxWorks applications to real-time Linux environments.
RTWe develop and adapt low-latency fieldbus and network software for CANopen, MilCAN, USB/IP, Modbus, PROFIBUS, POWERLINK, EtherCAT and BACnet, including integration under Linux and Xenomai where required.
NETFrom ARM/Cortex-A to x86, we develop Linux and real-time device drivers for custom peripherals, DMA, communication interfaces, cameras and board-specific hardware, with attention to latency and maintainability.
DRVWe help select hardware and software architectures with deployment, testability, lifecycle, security and long-term maintainability in mind, so platform decisions remain aligned with the complete product roadmap.
SYSOur US and European engineering resources provide direct technical support, maintenance and evolution services for LinRT and custom embedded Linux platforms throughout development and product life.
LTS04 / APPLICATION FIELDS
Digital Data Software works on platforms used in demanding industrial and embedded environments where performance, availability and long-term support are part of the product requirements.
05 / DELIVERY APPROACH
We keep platform decisions, low-level software and application requirements connected so the final system can be reproduced, maintained and evolved.
Hardware, latency, I/O, graphics, networking and lifecycle constraints.
BSP, kernel, drivers, middleware and application frameworks.
Boot, performance, real-time behavior, interfaces and regressions.
Updates, security fixes, platform evolution and long-term support.
