SystemSoft Projects


In the following pages are descriptions of some of the projects undertaken by SystemSoft.  In all cases the developed code belongs to the customer, SystemSoft has no interest in acquiring Intellectual Property Rights.  Of course we recognise that others do value the rights to developed software and will securely protect code (and other items) that we develop.


Highlighted Projects.

Project Keywords Overview
GPS


WDM, WinCE, 8051, UMDF, Win7 Moving from GPS receiver hardware-based modules through software-only GPS reception and into the Windows 7 "Location and Sensor" interface, SystemSoft has a lot of experience with GPS solutions

iSCSI



Windows Server Boot and Crashdump. TCPIP, iSCSI, SCSI, Server 2003 and Server 2008. Retained by a high-speed NIC manufacturer, SystemSoft developed the crashdump/boot drivers that make feasible an iSCSI-only Windows Server deployment. This driver is particularly complex as it must run when Windows has crashed, and must include a TCPIP stack in addition to the iSCSI support required for disk access.

Ethernet-Serial convertors

WDM, TDI, Ethernet, TCPIP. RS232, RS422, RS485, HDLC, SystemSoft have developed many variations on this theme, including pseudo-COM ports for PC platforms and HDLC interfaces for use in synchronous applications.
Microsoft Driver Certification




WHQL, DTM, Winqual, Verisign. The advent of rigid enforcement of Driver Signing for Vista (and Windows Server and Windows 7) has provided a common framework against which drivers can be tested.  On behalf of customers, SystemSoft have successfully submitted drivers to the logo program at Microsoft for signing. We are Winqual and Verisign account holders and regularly test all developed drivers under the DTM regime.
Stanag 5066



WDM, ISA, PCI, PCMCIA, RS232 This is a NATO-standard for the provision of internet-like access over low-grade (e.g. Ship-to-ship radio) communications. SystemSoft worked with DERA (now QinetiQ ) on early prototype implementation on Linux systems. Later we have created windows drivers for a ransge of synchronous serial cards from Comtrol GmbH.
TCP/IP Network Security



WDM. NDISIM. TDI, TCPIP, UDP, DNS. Active Net Steward (ANS) orginally from Security Designers but now from Positive Compuer Solutions is a radical approach to network security. Comprising both client and server components it polices both incoming and outgoing traffic. SystemSoft developed client-side drivers for all versions of Windows between WIndows 95 and Windows XP.
Factory Automation


X-Link X-link is a protocol conversion device focussed at Factory Automation. SystemSoft developed drivers for the unit to introduce several previously-unsupported protocols, including CTI2572 and Sattbus.
FAX Generation and Transmission

GDI. OS/2. Bcwyfax from Telesmart Developments, (now part of Microgen plc) offered a text-to-fax Mailmerge application. SystemSoft developed the image rendering and communication interface hosted under OS/2.
