In addition to the ARM roadmap previously announced for NAON®'s first appearance, this new version shows more clearly the next steps for the Value and Performance lines. Moreover, it throws some lights on the x86 CPU modules line, introducing Mamba®, the successor of the Neptune module, which will be proposed in two form factors: the first will be pin-compatible with existing Neptune-based solutions (Neptune Form Factor, NFF); the second will be a Q7 compliant form factor, with specifically designed extensions.

DAVE provides solutions in the area of embedded systems.

Main area of activity is the design and the production of a wide line of CPU modules that enable customers to quickly start-up their projects.

Development time and engineering costs are dramatically reduced since customers can focus on adding peripherals needed and writing applications.

Each CPU module - Lizard (ARM Cortex-A8), Aria (PowerPC), Qong (ARM11), Squirrel (ARM11), Oqtopus (ARM11) and Neptune (x86) - is provided with its evaluation board and development kit. In such a way customers can test all features concerning modules.

All our recent CPU modules equip a powerful FPGA to improve flexibility and allow customers to add specific interfaces to the design. The available IP cores for Aria, Qong and Neptune are listed here.

For customers who are not interested in the development of their own solution built around a CPU module, DAVE offers turnkey systems that come from the knowledge we saved up in the embedded world.
Our turnkey systems, like Amethyst and Beryl, allow to to dramatically accelerate the time to market and reduce the risks connected to the development of a completely new project, so customers can successfully develop their applications, concentrating exclusively on the final product.

Furthermore, we offer reactive and competent support to customers, also helping new customers to host modules in their environment.

Beside that, DAVE also provides consulting services for new platforms, providing also customisation and new drivers.

Our technical team is continuously designing and testing applications that are widely requested by our customers. Linux distributions, graphic libraries such uWindows or QT, web servers, particular network applications or devices, network protocols like SNMP are some of the examples of continuous improvement we introduced into our platforms in order to make them more usable and complete.

Finally, DAVE designs and manufactures full OEM systems whenever the need to reach well determined features suggest the use of an Operating System running over a hi-performing microprocessor architecture.
