Company Profile

Coveloz was founded in 2009 without outside investment. Thanks to an important contract with a Tier 1 customer, we have since built adequate capital from retained earnings, and more importantly, established a solid reputation. We continue to grow via strategic partnerships and by recruiting top talent; talent that aligns with our vision of being the best “boutique” FPGA consultancy. This talent is our competitive advantage.

"It is our culture to pursue design and execution excellence."

"It is our culture to pursue design and execution excellence."

We continue to grow via strategic partnerships and by recruiting top talent; talent that aligns with our vision of being the best “boutique” FPGA consultancy. This talent is our competitive advantage.

Our company founders enjoyed the dazzling growth of the late 90’s, through start-ups such as Catena Networks in Ottawa, and satellite-related ventures near Toronto, and various other enterprises with seemingly inexhaustible supplies of cash… In early 2000, as hubris made way to sobriety, we learned to respect responsible business principles: that sales follow a compelling value proposition; that maintaining a competitive advantage profits both the firm and its clients. Our value proposition is to offer focused engineering excellence; to deliver your projects on time, with quality, and within budget.

 

logo_mainExperience teaches us that one great designer is worth more than four uninspired contributors. As such, our goal is to unite only the best people into a focused, specialist consulting firm; one positioned to ensure your success.

logo_main

Introducing KEPLER-1588: a system for precise synchronization over Ethernet using the IEEE 1588-2008 Precision Timing Protocol (PTP). The Kepler-1588 platform is implemented either as a stand-alone SoC-FPGA, or as a PCIe-based FPGA connected to a Linux host. Kepler-1588 includes both standard and custom hardware, as well as standard and custom software.

Brought to market as a Customizable Standard Product (C-ASSP), Kepler-1588 can be used as a general-purpose Ethernet AVB/TSN processor with customizable I/O, in applications requiring G.8262/G.8273 (Telecom profile) synchronization and in industrial automation. Kepler-1588 is the natural general-purpose processor extending your Ethernet AVB/TSN network.

 

KEPLER-1588 implements the following main features:

A stand-alone Linux-based platform, which can be configured to meet the requirements of various PTP profiles, such as:

 

  • Default profiles
  • AVB profile (IEEE 802.1AS)
  • Broadcast profile (SMPTE-2059)
  • Telecommunication profile (ITU G.8265.1)
  • Power profile (IEEE PC37.238)
  • Word Clock Media Transport
  • Generalized PTP (IEEE 1588-2008) using either Linux PTP or PTPd open source daemons.
  • Ordinary, Boundary, and Transparent Clock
  • Grand Master or Slave
  • Timing Ports (PPS in/out and Master clock in/out)

 

KEPLER-1588 is used as the synchronization foundation for generalized PTP synchronization applications.

Bach-1722

We offer programmable solutions, specializing in time-sensitive networking.

Programmable: both hardware (FPGA) and embedded software can be customized, to evolve and differentiate. Solution: a working system, which requires both hardware and software working together.

logo_main

BACH-1722 is offered as a Reconfigurable ASSP (Application Specific Standard Product), which means that it implements a complete solution; both hardware and software, and yet maintains the flexibility of reconfigurable hardware since it is built around the Altera System-on-Chip (SoC) FPGA. The Altera SoC FPGA combines the latest dual-core Cortex-A9 processor with industry-leading programmable logic for ultimate design flexibility and processing performance.

 

BACH-1722 is a customizable platform, which can be built upon to suit a particular application. For example, BACH-1722 can be customized to:

  • Select the number and type of audio interface (I2S, TDM, AES3/EBU and/or AES10/MADI)
  • One or two Gigabit Ethernet ports
  • Choose processing only, AVB transport only or a combination
  • Available as an SoC FPGA (on-chip processor) or PCI Express FPGA (off-chip host)
