Cyth Systems brings powerful
mini-computer to the west coast |
|
A 2.5" modular, stackable "mini-computer" combines a tiny
powerful embedded processor with an easy embedded programming
environment for flexible, off-the-shelf prototyping of medical
devices, data loggers, electronics, robotics and sensors. |

Cyth Systems (San Diego, CA) announced that they are partnering
with Boston Engineering Corporation (Waltham, MA) to bring the
power of Boston Engineering’s FlexStack™ to the west coast.
FlexStack allows companies to streamline the prototyping of, or
even jump-start the deployment of small, portable
battery-powered devices – particularly medical devices, data
loggers, electronics, robotics or sensors – by offering a
quickly configurable, stackable bus architecture in an embedded
hardware solution. Based on the Analog Devices Blackfin®
Processor, FlexStack combines a tiny but powerful embedded
processor with an easy embedded programming environment for
flexible, off-the-shelf solutions.
At just 2.5x2.5 inches, FlexStack is the most flexible, modular,
low powered prototyping platform available. The modular nature
of the platform allows the user to add features such as
Bluetooth, DAQ or FPGA as needed. This small, highly flexible
form factor takes the time, risk and expense out of morphing a
“working prototype” into a “presentable prototype” by providing
a hardware platform that can migrate from prototype to
production, the stackable modules allow the user to choose the
capabilities and simply program them with
National Instruments LabVIEW Embedded Module for
ADI Blackfin Processors, potentially saving months of
development time and thousands of development dollars.
“Boston Engineering’s FlexStack product will aid us in our
mission of bringing customized, turnkey solutions to our clients
who need to get their testing, prototyping, and production up
and running quickly,” said Andy Long, Cyth Systems’ Senior
Director. “We are perfectly positioned in the medical and
military world to help bring the FlexStack™ product to our
clients.”
Erik Goethert, of Boston Engineering Corporation, agreed,
saying, “There is great opportunity for Boston Engineering, Cyth
Systems and for the FlexStack product line in the medical
community on the West Coast, specifically in California. The
best path to transform their ideas from concept to product is to
use the right platform with the right experienced partners.”
Boston Engineering Corporation is an outsourced engineering
services firm offering turn-key project development services to
meet clients’ immediate and long-term needs for software,
