Consumer Electronics, Defense, Embedded Engineering

Objectives

Device harness firmware for post-assembly-line device quality assurance testing and RMAs

Existing Challenges

Buggy chipsets from China manufacturing
No automated control mechanisms from host
Custom FPGA design and integration details
Mixed chipset architectures. i.e. ARM, PIC, etc.

Solutions

C++ bespoke firmware for harness controller
Assembly code for functionality chipsets interfaces, i.e. wifi, bluetooth, hid’s, screen, usb I/O, etc.
Custom electric network integration
Windows .NET host controller application and utilities

Benefits

Dual-purpose harness for device testing during dev and mass production
In-house code for future feature and fix development
