PROJECTS
Company Name : DITC ; Customer Name : Bendix Corporation.
Developed a customized flash-loader for MC9S08QG4 MCU using a 32 bit DSP, TMS320F2810 as the master. The project is innovative as the master communicates with slave using only the 2 power line carrier wires.
Developed a customized bootloader for MC68HC908QT4 MCU using a 32 bit DSP from Texas Instruments, TMS320F2810 as the master. The project is being considered for patent by our company.
Converted the manufacturer-supplied Slave side code of Developer s Serial Bootloader for MC68HC08 family of microcontrollers from Assembly Language to C language.
Developed a complete firmware from scratch for the fail-safe module of the main Electronic control unit ECU of a tractor which uses MC68HC908QT4 MCU as the controller of the fail-safe module and MC9S12D64 16 - bit microcontroller as the main controller of the ECU unit.
Developed firmware for the Wheel End Sensor of a trailer consisting of the 8 - bit MCU MC68HC908QT4 which resides inside the wheel axle and provides wheel parameters wheel speed, rotation direction, temperature, acceleration, etc. to the main ECU of the trailer consisting of the DSP- TMS320F2810PBKA using a standard 2 wire interface.
Provided maintenance of firmware for the ECU of a trailer which uses a 32 - bit DSP viz. TMS320F2810PBKA as its main controller and a 16 - bit MSP viz. MSP430F1232IPW as the controller of its fail-safe module.
Developed a firmware module for spectral analysis of signals feed into the 32 - bit DSP viz. TMS320F2810PBKA used as the main controller of ECU of a tractor using DFT by correlation method.
Developed firmware for a 32 - bit MCU viz. MC9S12XEP100 used as the controller of the ECU of the tractor which performs hardware testing, manual and automatic control and faults detection of the output drivers like lamp, buzzer and solenoids valves used for maintaining proper tire pressure under different road conditions.
