We are specialists in Linux, Android and embedded RTOS. The nature of Codethink’s work requires us to tackle deep developer-level integration with other platforms too – currently that includes QNX, Integrity, Windows, Mac OS. We work on firmware, drivers, board support, operating systems, libraries, middleware, and all of the build tooling required to create complete systems. Projects range from tiny real-time devices to fleets of data-center scale Linux appliances. Philosophy and Approach We specialise in system-level software infrastructure to support advanced technical applications, working across a range of industries including finance, automotive, medical, telecoms. Typically we get involved in software architecture, design, development, integration, debugging and improvement on the deep plumbing of code. We aim to be great at software design and development, and to improve the practice of software engineering as a real engineering discipline. We have learned that we can only achieve this by sharing what we know, and absorbing what others can teach us.
