Embedded systems developers and device manufacturers requiring a solution providing an SMB client/server stack for integration into constrained systems
About YNQ
YNQ is a portable SMB server and client stack developed by Visuality Systems, written in ANSI C and designed to run on embedded, IoT, or non-Windows systems while ensuring full interoperability with Windows-based machines. It enables remote file operations (write, edit, copy, delete, update) over a network without needing to transfer entire files locally, while maintaining a small resource footprint ideal for constrained environments. YNQ supports full compatibility across all SMB dialects (from NTLM 0.12 through SMB 3.1.1), including backward compatibility, making it broadly applicable across SMB ecosystems. It offers security features such as Kerberos (domain-join, delegation), NTLM/NTLMv2, message signing, SMB encryption, and pre-authentication integrity. YNQ is modular and comprises four product components; Standalone Client, Corporate Client (with Active Directory registration capability), Standalone Server, and Corporate Server.

Headscale
Headscale is an open-source, self-hosted implementation of the control server used by the Tailscale network, enabling users to keep full ownership of their private tailnets while using Tailscale clients. It supports registering users and nodes, issuing pre-authentication keys, advertising subnet-routes and exit-node capabilities, enforcing access-control lists, and integrating with OIDC/SAML identity providers for user authentication. The server is deployable via Debian/Ubuntu packages or standalone binaries, configurable through a YAML file, and managed via its CLI or REST API. Headscale tracks each node, route, and user in its database, supports route approval workflows, and enables features such as subnet routing, exit node designation, and node-to-node mesh within the tailnet. Being self-hosted, it gives organizations and hobbyists full control over their private network endpoints, encryption keys, and traffic flows, rather than depending on a commercial control plane.

Ansys SCADE Suite
Modern automobiles, aircraft, and other complex industrial products are composed of multiple electronic components, perfectly integrated to provide critical functionality. Underlying these advanced systems are millions of lines of embedded software code that ensure their flawless operation under every operating scenario. Ansys SCADE Suite drastically reduces safety certification costs by simplifying critical control application design and automating verification, qualifiable/certified code generation, and documentation generation. In the race to launch new hybrid and electric vehicle models, Ansys SCADE has emerged as a valuable strategic tool for Subaru over the past decade, supporting the automaker’s commitment to uncompromising safety and quality. The time saved during the end-to-end development of the ECU — without sacrificing the accuracy of its control software — has been crucial to Subaru’s ability to introduce innovative new technologies.

WedoLow
WedoLow is a deep-tech optimization platform for embedded and hosted C/C++ applications, designed to push software performance and efficiency even on constrained hardware. WedoLow analyses source code, identifies performance bottlenecks (CPU load, memory footprint, energy use), and automatically applies algorithmic and architectural optimizations tailored to the target hardware. The core of the offering, the beLow suite, integrates seamlessly with common build systems, so it fits into existing workflows. Once analysis is complete, beLow provides a detailed diagnostic report, classifies optimization opportunities (bit-exact, permissive, or lossy depending on output-value tolerance), and helps teams choose appropriate strategies based on constraints and trade-offs. WedoLow also supports AI-assisted code generation and optimization via its WedoLow MCP Server.

TimeMachine
The TimeMachine debugging suite extends the range of Green Hills Software’s popular MULTI integrated development environment (IDE) by providing a window into the complex interactions in software that can result in bugs, performance problems, and testing nightmares. By presenting this information in easy-to-understand displays, TimeMachine enables developers to quickly navigate through trace data and produce better code in less time. With TimeMachine you can debug both forward and backward in time, making it easier to find even the hardest time. Make your software run faster than you thought possible by examining program execution history to find previously unknown bottlenecks. Accelerate debugging by stepping backward a single step at a time into functions you've already stepped over. Leverage gigabytes of execution history to verify that your program has been fully tested.
