A highly professional support system and extended documentation are two top advantages of the FoxBurner SDK.

Windows CE is an Operating System that runs on a number of different processors and boards with different chip sets. Pixbyte Development can help you make the necessary adjustments and/or modifications to your system. Besides the FoxBurner SDKe, Pixbyte Development offers services that ease the implementation process of the Foxburner SDKe or provide complete solutions according to your needs.

There is a special service available for hardware manufacturers. Pixbyte Development develops or adjusts existing device drivers for boards, processors and chip sets in order to work with the FoxBurner SDKe in a way that allows drivers to become a part of your board support package. Please send inquiries about board adjustments by filling out our contact form.

Special dedicated hardware that use custom boards require special device drivers (according to the chip sets used on the board). Pixbyte Development can assist you in developing your own device driver for your custom board. Please send inquiries about device driver development to our sales team.

Instead of just licensing the FoxBurner SDKe, you may want Pixbyte Development to provide you with a ready-to-go recording application. Our development team combines the knowledge of our own SDK, the experience in device driver adjustments with the extensive knowledge of Windows CE. There is no faster and more efficient way to have your application built. Please send inquiries about CE application development by contact our sales team.
