I started programming video games as a child and later on got interested in embedded devices development. After getting my engineering master's degree I joined Adeneo Embedded as a software engineer in Paris, and worked on different kinds of products both targeting Windows Embedded CE and Embedded Linux applications. I was transferred to Adeneo Embedded's Seattle office in early 2009, where I've been responsible for the development of the Windows Embedded CE BSP for Gumstix Overo series provided by Adeneo Embedded.

I started reading about Gumstix a few years back when I was still at school but never got the chance to work on these products in the past. Due to the increasing popularity and the performance capabilities of the TI OMAP35x combined with low-cost, it became a personal challenge for us to port Windows CE to the new Gumstix Overo series.

I'm currently working on the development of the reference Windows Embedded CE BSP for Gumstix Overo boards which should be available by the end of 2Q09. I'm more generally working closely with customers chosing Windows Embedded CE as a solution for their applications.

Right now the focus is on Overo Water along with Palo and Tobi carrier boards. Our short-term goal is to extend our support to the whole Gumstix Overo family.

First of all, for it ease of integration in customer products (small form factor). Furthermore, Adeneo Embedded is a close partner of Texas Instruments for system integration on OMAP and DaVinci technologies, therefore we have an extensive knowledge on the development of WinCE and Embedded Linux solutions with TI products. It comes clear that the use of Gumstix Overo solutions in the design of our customers is a natural choice.

Nearly all kinds of projects targeting a broad range of markets such as navigation devices, handeld terminals or medical monitoring systems. I'm also thinking of buying myself an Overo Fire board and "play" with it at home during my spare time.

Definitely. The plan in the near future is to help Adeneo Embedded customers in the integration of WinCE in their Gumstix Overo based designs. The Gumstix boards are very attractive to a lot of people due to their size and performance and combining this with the ease of use of WinCE can lead to amazing products.
