Epteck's Contributions to IDE’s Vibration Isolation Systems
Epteck collaborated with Integrated Dynamics Engineering (IDE) on the development of a customized Board Support Package (BSP) for their Active Vibration Isolation system. The project involved utilizing technologies such as C, C++, Python, bootloaders, and the Yocto Project. Epteck’s expertise in real-time Linux, kernel development, and device tree customization allowed them to deliver a robust solution.
The primary objectives were to resolve hardware compatibility issues, reduce system latency, and enhance error detection, ensuring high system uptime and minimizing operational inefficiencies.
As a result of Epteck’s work, several measurable benefits were delivered to IDE, such as the completion of BSP development, and the resolution of hardware compatibility issues, ensuring 99% uptime in production.

What We Did to Solve the Problems
IDE encountered several challenges within their Active Vibration Isolation system. These included hardware compatibility issues that disrupted system operation, high latency impacting real-time performance, and difficulties in error detection, which resulted in substantial downtime. Additionally, manufacturing defects and debugging delays caused field failures and operational inefficiencies, hindering overall productivity.
To solve these challenges, Epteck develop these solutions.
Customized BSP Development for Hardware Compatibility
We developed a tailored Board Support Package (BSP) to resolve hardware compatibility issues and enable seamless peripheral integration. This ensured smooth system operation, achieving 99% uptime in production.
Real-Time Linux Integration for Reduced Latency
By enabling real-time Linux, we significantly reduced system latency, improving responsiveness and ensuring efficient real-time processing.
Structured Logging for Improved Error Detection
We implemented a structured logging system that enhanced error detection and reduced debugging time by 40-50%, allowing for quicker issue resolution and smoother operations.
Early Detection of Manufacturing Defects
Our proactive approach in identifying manufacturing defects led to a 90% reduction in field failures, improving product reliability and minimizing post-production issues.
