In general, RoweBots is an open source company whereby users get source code for all products (if they want it) and are responsible to provide source code improvements in a community based maintenance effort. With this open source software approach, the cost of developing and testing DSPnano and other products is substantially reduced, and the community gets to decide what features are important.
The entire Microchip PIC24 and dsPIC family is supported by the DSPnano operating system. This includes both the high performance PIC 24 microcontroller as well as the two digital signal controllers, dsPIC 30 and 33. The full range of the library support can be used for all processors, although some processors are better suited to utilization of some libraries than other processors.
The entire offering is supported with design and training services. Services are available on a per diem or fixed price basis. Please refer to these sections of our web site for more details.
