Algorithm development

RT-RK offers custom algorithm development, from the initial idea all the way to production implementation, as well as robust IP protection for our clients. We have vast expertise in developing world-class audio features such as speech enhancement, noise suppression, microphone array algorithms, as well as video and audio quality measurements.

Embedded software designDSP Firmware Development

RT-RK has 15 years of experience in developing DSP firmware solutions targeted for consumer class devices for audio and speech processing. Our engineers are highly skilled for code, memory and speed optimization, both in handwritten code and DSP platform compile. This enables us to achieve an optimal balance between speed of development and high performance that reduces time-to-market without jeopardizing quality. We also provide certification test suites, ready for certification testing and support during the certification process (Dolby, DTS, SRS, etc). During the past several years we have also enhanced our expertise by supporting the latest cutting-edge high definition audio technologies, multichannel audio encoders and other audio processing techniques:cl_pcb_s

Controller software design

Over the years we have developed different embedded systems based on wide rage of operatingcl_tester_s systems (Linux, NITROS, Nucleus, TreadX, Windows, Symbian and Android) and different platforms:

  • 8 bit microcontrollers (8051, PIC, Atmel, STMicroelectronics) for the most cost optimized solutions
  • 16 bit and 32 bit microcontrollers used in handheld and mobile devices (ARM 7/9, MIPS)
  • High-end platforms based on complex FPGA (Xilinx, Altera)
  • General purpose platforms (x86, PowerPC, Cell, NVIDIA) for most demanding applicationsRT-RK provides years of experience in designing and developing real-time solutions which require extensive testing and validation (such as consumer electronics, military, extreme and high-end systems).

System quality assurance services

RT-RK has developed considerable expertise in providing SQA services, primarily for consumer electronics and embedded applications. Our proprietary, fully customizable framework for automated system and functional software testing of complex electronic devices (www.bbt.rs) provides simple design and execution of almost any kind of testing procedure on your product – with significant cost and time savings. These results are made possible through a variety of software IP blocks and special hardware solutions that enable full utilization of the existing infrastructure.
