Description

Gateworks was founded by Gordon Edmonds in 1996 and initially focused on embedded software and firmware development. Gateworks quickly expanded into embedded systems hardware and incorporated in 1998, adding Doug Hollingsworth and Ron Eisworth to the founding team. The company focused design efforts on CompactPCI processor boards and came out with its first standard products in 1999. The founders sold Gateworks to I-Bus/Phoenix in 2000 and became part of their research and development group with Mr. Edmonds continuing to head the unit as General Manager.
