Although the business of NEriks Audio slowly is growing my main occupation still lies within the software industry. I’ve been an IT-Professional since the mid 90s spending most of my time working with compiler design, real-time operating systems and various process control systems. During the last couple of years my primary focus has however been on overall software design and software architecture so it is with great amusement that I currently find myself back to the roots of low-level programming due to some forthcoming products of NEriks Audio.

Some of the experimental products currently developed by NEriks Audio are heavily based on software for the controlling purposes of a device. I’ve always been very fond of pure analog signal paths so I will probably not go down the route of incorporating DSP’s into any of our products. At least not yet! One of the most time-consuming tasks has been to choose a hardware platform with a suitable micro-controller both performance-wise and I/O-wise. Once the platform was chosen I started to develop a framework which approximately 400 hours later had evolved into a full operating system with support for both multitasking and networking. Whether I will use all the features developed for the operating system is still very uncertain – However, I had a great time developing it!
