Code Generator
In house tool used to specify software interfaces in XML for rapid generation of bug free, well commented, C++ classes.
- Designed and implemented Generator using Python and wxWindows.
- Created code templates for an inter-process
communication layer that automates nested
C++ object serialization and endinaness swapping.
- Created component that generates device drivers and
stubbed IOCTL handlers.
- Code generator has been used in production of two device drivers and ten
server/client applications, saving developers from writing and debugging thousands of lines of code.
5000, 7000 Projects
In-dash computers for vehicles. Systems feature CD and USB playback, an iPod interface, satellite radio, external camera display, GPS navigation, vehicle systems monitor, trip computer, and tire pressure monitors.
- Wrote a VNC client using C++ and the QNX Photon mircoGUI.
- Developed a device driver for a serial based
touch screen device.
- Created an intelligent high speed serial to TCP/IP bridge that
allowed us to interface our VNC client to a
3rd party system.
Mobile Media Dock Project
Portable music device docking station for vehicles, supporting iPod and flash media.
- Modified Greenhills Board Support Package for the Analog
Devices BlackFin 539 processor to run on Lectronix custom
hardware.
- Added USB Stack and USB media detection code.
- Developed a shared memory version of Lectronix's
abstract inter-process communication layer.
Navigation Server
Largest module for the 7000 Project. Application displays maps, calculates routes, provides audible directions, and allows searching of map data.
- Created proximity search component that used 3rd party geographic
data engine to find map features and points of interest
around a given location.
- Modified 3rd party Python map scripts to categorize
points of interest data.
- Implemented map marker component which allows arbitrary
icons to be shown and updated in map coordinates.
Miscellaneous
- Modified U-Boot universal boot loader
to initialize Coral-P video device and display splash screen.
- Updated Integrity IDE Driver to support
BlackFin I/O pipelining.
- Wrote a tool called Generic Tester that parsed Doxygen XML
output and created C++ unit tests based on developer's
Doxygen comments.
- Created generic server, client, driver, and application classes
to replace standard entry points which enabled components to share
common code and be controlled from a single point. Wrote python
scripts to migrate code base to new classes.
- Developed Python scripts to interact with SourceOffSite source
control server and automate code sharing and moving.
