Services

Frequenctly Asked QuestionsRedstone Labs has over 25 years of experience in embedded systems and product design. Our services can be utilized in any combination to meet your needs ranging from complete out sourcing to simple design assistance. Feel free to contact us directly to discuss your project.

The following is a summary of our capabilities:

  • Product definition

Product definition is the foundation for the entire project. Without a stable product definition your project will likely suffer from feature creep, missed deadlines, and budget problems. Redstone Labs has both assisted and authored numerous product specifications that have provided a stable platform for project planning and development. Read more...

  • Project planning

The project plan should provide accurate measurable milestones for your project. Timelines slip, budgets overrun, people get sick, mistakes are made - Is the perfect project one where none of this happens? No, we believe the perfect project is one where a solid product definition enables an accurate project plan that provides the most accurate visibility to your true budget and timeline. Redstone Labs has years of experience which enables us to avoid common problems in project planning. Read more...

  • Circuit/PCB Design

There are many potential pitfalls in the printed circuit board (PCB) design process. Redstone Labs understands these pitfalls and has what is necessary to mitigate those risks. All of our boards are hand routed by experienced engineers who pay attention to EVERY detail as the board is designed. We also have well established relationships with PCB manufacturers which lower costs and helps guarantee quality. Read more...

  • FPGA/CPLD/ASIC

Redstone Labs offers design and synthesis services for programmable logic devices using synchronous design methodologies. Programmable logic devices come in a wide array packages ranging from very simple PLDs to large complex FPGAs and CPLDs. Authoring programmable logic is writing software that becomes hardware. Redstone Labs can leverage years of experience and our existing designs to create a solution to meet your needs. Read more...

  • CAD/CAM Services

Redstone Labs can provide CAD/CAM services for any type of application. We provide services ranging from solid models of circuit boards to simple floor plan layouts to enclosure designs. We can make modifications to existing design files or create new designs using a wide range of tools including Solidworks, Mechanical Desktop, Autocad, etc.

  • Device Drivers

Many people might consider device drivers part of standard software development. We however, believe that device driver development is much more specialized; it is the marriage of hardware knowledge and software skills. This task is the heart of embedded systems programming. Device drivers are the foundation and building blocks of your software application. It takes years of hardware experience as well as years of software experience to develop strong device drivers. Redstone Labs has the experience and equipment necessary to author the highest quality device drivers to meet your needs. Read more...

  • Real Time Embedded Software

Redstone Labs understands the software development process completely. More than just users of software development tools, we have designed the tools themselves. This experience coupled with our years of software and hardware development enables us to provide unparalleled embedded software design services. Redstone Labs has the experience necessary to author embedded software to meet your needs. Read more...

  • Embedded RTOS/Linux/VxWorks/OpenRTOS

Redstone Labs' engineers understand to an intimate level the concepts surrounding real-time operating systems, and have embedded various real-time operating systems into numerous products.

  • Test and Debug

There is no formula for debugging any given problem, they are all unique. Testing and debugging real-time embedded systems is more challenging because you cannot impact the operation of the system while testing and debugging. If you impact the system in your test and debug process you cannot be guaranteed the true quality of the system when not under test. Redstone Labs has over 25 years combined experience solving the most difficult problems. Read more...

  • PCB Repair and rework

Inevitably, design problems arise. Usually small, but sometimes large, amounts of rework are necessary. Whatever the case, Redstone Labs can provide the necessary services to correct the issue while maintaining system integrity and ensuring the test process stays free of irregularities. Our scope of rework capabilities include many techniques unthought to even exist. We also specialize in sub-miniature rework and prototyping.

  • Reverse Engineering

Quick and accurate reverse engineering is not something that can be taught. It only comes from years of industry experience and design work. Redstone Labs can accurately, completely, and quickly disassemble most anything, document it, and reassemble it with absolutely no impact. We have successfully reverse engineered proprietary systems of all types including RF systems, advanced modulation techniques, general embedded systems, custom protocols, and custom hardware interfaces.
