Japanese imaging devices maker Ricoh Company is set to use a software product, which could accelerate the development of device drivers, from a Belgaum-based start-up company Vayavya Labs.
The two companies have entered into a licensing agreement to use Vayavya’s ‘DDGen’ for different peripherals from the Ricoh stable such as USB host/device controllers, network controllers, flash memory devices and others.
“As a system provider, we would like to have every Intellectual Property be ready to be incorporated into the systems… We have been searching some tools like DDGen to cut down cost, time and effort while meeting the time-to-market demands. We are encouraged by the early results shown by DDGen,” Naoya Morita, Embedded Platform Development Department at Ricoh, said in a press statement.
A device driver is a programme that determines how a computer will communicate with a peripheral device.
