Ardesia Systems
San Diego, CA

Designed and implemented a flexible GUI that facilitates all stages of motor drive development. This application, written in C++, can be used to verify proper operation of the equipment and experiment with different motor configurations and settings. The user can modify the pre- defined motor functions and monitoring configurations and add custom ones to test various aspects of his new design.

Designed and implemented a serial PPP driver for a Linux-based digital video encoder/decoder system with an MPC860 PowerPC core. This driver supports both Synchronous and Asynchronous serial data, PPP control messages via TTY Ioctls, and data transfer over the IP stack.

Implemented software and firmware for a new VxWorks-based Managed-mode Ethernet switching card featuring Mitel's DS213 switching chip. Brought up the card from scratch. Ported Mitel's Switch Device Driver and layered software to VxWorks. Added SNMP Private MIB support per the customer's specification. Successful completion under a very tight schedule.

Implemented software and firmware as an enhancement to a NUCLEUS-based Managed-mode Ethernet switching card featuring Mitel's DS213 switching chip. The enhancement is an integrated mechanism for identification of network problems through a switch-driven keep-alive to one or more remote IP addresses. Added SNMP Private MIB support for the purpose of configuring and monitoring the keep-alive function. Ported this enhanced software to a VxWorks TMS-based Ethernet switching card featuring Broadcom's 5680 switching chip.
