SDR - Software Defined Radio: Reduce Risk with Zeligsoft

Resources

Included below are resources for the embedded system developer.

Zeligsoft is the proven leader in SDR/SCA development solutions, and we continue to provide our customers with advanced tooling for this ever-growing market.

In addition to SDR/SCA, we are applying our core technologies and expertise to other domains requiring advanced tooling solutions for heterogeneous multiprocessor and SoC software development, the first being Texas Instruments’ DSP SoCs.

Whether you are developing an SCA-compliant Software Defined Radio, or you need help developing multicore multiprocessor and SoC software for your embedded system, our development environment, training and professional services will help you attain your project goals.

We are continuously updating our resources section so be sure to visit this page often.
