Senior Software Engineer II

Dec 2017 – Dec 2019 · 2 yrs · Bangalore · On-site

Responsible for the custom Linux FPGA driver in Generic Engineering Display(GED) project. GED provides a generic solution for testing, analysing and controlling several video streams from/to different video sources used in automotive like APIX2, GVIF, GMSL and FPD. The functionality is split in multiple boards with a baseboard and multiple different expansion modules. FPGA on the baseboard implements DMA logic in hardware acting as frame grabber while the FPGA itself is controlled by iMX6 with Linux as OS. This system uses an Artix FPGA and iMX6.
Currently working on the next generation of this hardware capable of handling Ultra HD resolution based on Xilinx's Ultrascale MPSoC platform.
Experience with the following Xilinx FPGA IPs: VDMA, CDMA, MCDMA, Display Port, Timing Controller
Also responsible for CAN, Diagnostic Log Trace(DLT) and Serial data logger based on Beaglebone Black.
