Resources

Here are some useful resources for safety critical and embedded engineering, consultants for many aspects and contractors for when you need an engineer. These section also covers training and some posters to make you, or others who pass by, THINK. Finally there are links to some of our favourite web sites .

Consultancy

Phaedrus Systems is in a position to recommend several extremely good consultancy companies and individual consultants who can do anything from software and/or hardware development through to complete projects to the highest standards. These include specialised consultants who can provide assistance to 61508 and Do178 projects, including sensitive and defence or security projects. We can even introduce people with skills such as cryptography and penetration testing. > Link to

Contractors

Over the years we have built up relationships with many contractors. Skills cover hardware and software, both analogue and digital, from many different embedded applications areas. Some are even security cleared. Those listed we both know and would recommend, depending on the project you have. > Link to

Training

When it comes to training many are "one eyed in the land of the blind". We can recommend trainers for embedded engineering who really know their stuff backed by years of real experience. They are not swayed by fashion and buzzwords nor are they IT people who don't understand embedded. > Link to

Validation

We can supply validation reports for compilers, tools for validating source code and executable code in ROM and consultants who can help you set up a safety critical project for validation to the highest standards > Link to

QuEST

The Quality Embedded Systems Techniques series of papers on all aspects of embedded systems development from C taps and pitfalls to unit testing . > Link to

Engineers Guides

Our in depth look at various platforms for engineers who need to get to grips with a new platform. These guides are more than just a re-hash of the data sheets and the silicon companies' PowerPoint sildes. > Link to

Posters of Life

Over the years we have been in the business we have seen many humorous posters, often a cynical attempt at building moral or raising safety issues. The Phaedrus Systems Posters are the ones that are in everyone's heads There are also links to the HSE myth busting posters and the Dilbert web site. > Link to
