HW design

From design to production, the right solution for all needs

We design microprocessor devices for different applications.

We provide from the design alone to the volume manufacturing.

Our offer

GEMINO provides several HW solutions already available in the company’s portfolio that can be customized to better fit to customer needs. A flexible HW design that allows the customer to buy always and only what really needed.

PCB design and prototypes supply

We design PCB and devices that can be:

  • Projects derived from our products, through enrichment or reduction of components:
    • With PCB adapted to the customer’s housing
    • With PCB that fits our moulds
  • New projects based on customer specifications

Complete device design

We make complete devices that can be:

  • Supplied in volumes, with boxes and accessories
  • Certificates under GEMINO brand or client brand
  • Our devices supplied with customer brand

The design may include the HW extended with SW/ FW, here including the supply of the Bootloader, Secureboot, SW factory and End of Line tests, also designed on client’s production lines.

Technologies we worked on

Processors and microcontrollers

Processors:

  • NXP iMX family (iMX8, iMX6) e Layerscape (LS1012, LS1024);
  • LANTIQ/INTEL, Realtek;

Microcontrollers:

We worked on several microcontrollers including NXP, ST and Microchip with experience of development / integration / customization of low-cost systems (eg: Espressif).

Peripheral

  • Ethernet from several providers including Qualcomm, Realtek, Broadcom and other Far-East manufacturers, both integrating phy and switch;
  • WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax both through modules integration and direct WiFi chips mounting on PCB;
  • USB either directly exposed by microprocessor or through HUB;
  • 3G/4G with integration of GSM modules and/or dongles from various manufacturers;
  • Zigbee with different NXP chip series;
  • Bluetooth, mainly through the integration of WiFi modules;
  • Serial interface and digital/analog IOs, also in opto-isolated architectures;
  • RAM DDR e LPDDR;
  • Flash NAND, NOR e eMMC also in mixed architectures;
  • SD card SD / SDHC e SDXC;

Through our laboratory we provide all the necessary activities to turn-on the devices (tuning of delays on high-speed interfaces, microprocessor set-up, early boot, etc) and perform functional tests (long term stability, performances, throughput, etc) in order to always provide reliable HW devices.
