Software Overview
From RFID Guardian
Contents |
This is a Museum page
Introduction
This page aims to provide an overview of the current state of RFID Guardian software. In the future it might be useful to link this to the issue-tracking system in one way or the other.
Maturity grades go from 0-10 but are only an indication. Were specific ISO's are mentioned it is implicitly stated that work on not mentioned ISO's has not yet started.
Some related documents are linked at the bottom of this page.
List of Components
For clarity the software components are grouped in three layers:
- Hardware Layer
- Middleware Layer
- Application Layer
Hardware Layer
| Component | Part | Mat. | People | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hardware tests | - | ? | ? | more info is needed on this |
| Analog front-ends tests | - | ? | ? | more info is needed on this |
| FPGA | Init with JTAG | 7 | Rutger | Might have to be adjusted depending on hardware |
| IQ (de)modulation | 0 | Serge | ||
| Frame buffering | 0 | Serge | ||
| Signal Filtering | 0 | Serge | ||
| Bootloader | general | 8 | Rutger | have we already decided on RebBoot vs uBoot? |
| serial line support | 9 | Rutger | must be supported in V4 | |
| ethernet support | 0 | Rutger | first on wishlist, not critical | |
| USB support | - | - | somewhere in the future | |
| Bluetooth support | - | - | somewhere in the future |
Middleware Layer
These components are mostly built on top of eCos and provide functionality to the application layer.
Note: eCos will have to be ported for the BlackFin but this is not on the critical path for V4.
