Project Details:
1. Digital Shelf Display
One of the leading retailers has a requirement to have digital display over their store’s each and every shelf
which displays various price tags of things or various advertisements. All these shelfs are connected to one of
the server through Wi-Fi/Ethernet/ZigBee. Shelf unit is made up of one Projector and our system board (TI’s
DM365x or TI’s AM335x). This server manages the content to be displayed of each shelf. Application runs
over the shelf’s board download new content if available and displays on the shelf so, that consumers can have
idea of price of particular items, and if images have barcode information then server can switch to barcode
mode to display barcode of items. This software module has several other functionalities such as watchdog,
firmware upgrade, dns responder.
Contribution  Senior Engineer
 Application developer
 Main application development
 Functionality and acceptance testing
Platforms TI DM365x, TI AM335x, Linux 3.10 & Linux 3.14
Development Tools  GCC
 FFMPEG, Json parser, Curl
2. Energy Meter Module
One of the leading energy meter company is developing an energy meter module which includes energy meters
and one controller which manages data read from energy meters. This controller can be connected to web using
TCP connection which gives user/controller/administrator access to various features of this module. This
product supports logging of data, alarms & events generated or read from the meter. Real-time data is also
supported which displays live data such as KWH, Volts, and Currents etc. It has feature to display graphs of
energy consumption of day/week/year. This module even supports GAS & Water meters.
Contribution  Engineer
 Firmware developer
 Json handling received from web pages
 Functionality and acceptance testing
Platforms ST Micro STM32F427VG microcontroller, Windows PC
Development Tools  Atollic studio
3. Smart Gateway
Smart gateway is a board which can be installed in restaurants or building to provide internet access over
WiFi. The internet is coming over ADSL/VDSL line, standard Ethernet port & 10G Ethernet port. There is one
central CPU from Texas Instruments (66AK2E05) which communicate with other two processor (Marvell

2. (Armada 38x) for WiFi and Lantiq VRX220 for ADSL/VDSL chip). There is one central application running
on main processor which takes data from Ethernet ports and transmit to Wifi module which serves internet to
the user over Wifi.
Contribution  Engineer
 Board bring up of several interfaces (10G Phy, LCD, Lantiq,
USB, NAND)
 Sample web pages to receive & send data between processor
 Functionality and acceptance testing
Platforms  TI 66AK2E05, Lantiq VRX220, Armada 38x, Linux PC
Development Tools  GCC
 Linux 3.14
4. Vending Machine Expansion Card (Phase A)
Vending Machine Expansion Card is a pluggable hardware which can be attached to a Windows/Linux
machine to make the machine act as a vending machine terminal. The expansion card is having Microchip’s
PIC32 microcontroller. The expansion card has the popular vending machine interfaces like MDB, USB,
CCTalk, Protocol A. Various vending machine devices like Coin Acceptors, Coin Dispenses, Coin Hoppers,
Bill Validators, Magnetic stripe reader, Bar code scanner, Line displays, PINPAD, Item Dispensers can be
plugged on the expansion card. The software is divided in to two parts one that goes in to the hardware and
one which runs on the host Linux/Windows machine. The host machine software is an SDK which provides
user interfaces partially compliant to the UnifiedPOS standard. The system is fully configurable and flexible
via XML based configuration file.
Contribution  Engineer
 Expansion card SDK architecture and design
 MDB protocol deviation handling via configuration XML
 SDK development (C++)
 Functionality and acceptance testing
Platforms Microchip’s PIC32 microcontroller, Windows and Linux PC’s
Development Tools  Microsoft Visual Studio 2013
 Boost, Sqlite, libXML
 Klockwork
5. Vending Machine Expansion Card (Phase B)
Contribution  Engineer
 Firmware development for 1-wire, ccTalk and Protocol A
 Functionality and acceptance testing
Platforms Microchip’s PIC32 microcontroller, Windows
Development Tools  MPLAB
 Klockwork
6. 4K Resolution IP Camera
4K IP camera solution is designed around Texas Instruments’ DM8168 and AM3894 processors along with
Xilinx’s Kintex 7 FPGA. The IP camera is having a 12MPixel leans to capture 4K resolution video. The
camera hardware has DDR3, NAND, Gigabit Ethernet, SATA, RS485, RS232, I2C, SPI, HDMI, LVDS,
PCIe, 10/100 Ethernet and analog video interfaces. The camera software is running on top of the two
independent Linux on each processor. The embedded software has modules like A/V streaming, A/V recording,
Image enhancement, Inter-processor communication, Webserver, Database.
Contribution  Engineer
 Live555 interface with main software for audio and video
streaming
