Sol-Stak is an open, small system, embedded prototyping paradigm.
We do a lot of prototyping across multiple vendor systems. Reference designs and software support for these systems are a fragmented, multi-standard, multi-faceted, mess.
Prototyping embedded systems has very particular focus and objectives.
I will try to add a drawing I made several years ago, but this conceptual design is easy to visualize.
Basically this is a rocket launch double escape system conceptual design. The double escape system may also be used for re-entry.
