BSP development for RTOS
Board Support Packages provide the necessary tools and software platform to the Automotive OEMs to design and develop the products. These BSP are always customized from the standard base package as per end-customer requirements and features. Alumnus has been engaged with a premier Japanese RTOS and software solutions provider for more than 6 years and […]
Drivers for an FPGA system
The requirement was to design and develop an Ethernet driver for an FPGA system to provide better speed (than an MCU-based system) and is more customizable. Alumnus delivered the required driver and the integrated the controller fully with the kernel network stack thereby enabling high speed Ethernet communication. The driver additionally created a special data […]
Wireless and Bluetooth driver development
A wireless chipset manufacturer needed the addition of new features and standards for their new chipsets. The work included ensuring compatibility with new kernels (while maintaining full backward compatibility), optimizing performance, fixing bugs and automating tests. Alumnus worked with 802.11 a/b/g/n/i/ac drivers, including features like WPS, WFD, Soft AP, WPA/WPA2 etc. and added support for […]
Wi-Fi device driver porting
A client sought to port a Wi-Fi device driver from an X86 system to an ARM development board for increased flexibility. However, the different underlying hardware interrupt mechanisms between the source and target platforms needed to be addressed. Alumnus carried out the porting by completely restructuring the interrupt mechanism through use of an alternate interrupt […]
Data dashboards for the healthcare sector
Alumnus has created a number of purpose-built dashboards to help clients visualise and explore data gathered from multiple sources. A client commissioned Alumnus to build a web-based digital health dashboard using NLP and data comparison engines to enable a comprehensive view of patient’s medical history. Healthcare data across the target group of patients was pulled […]
Vehicle detection using audio signal processing
Vehicles had to be located and their movements tracked but without video cameras (due to social constraints) and large volumes of still cameras (expensive). Using recorded stereo audio signals (from microphones placed about 5m apart on a highway), Alumnus teams designed and implemented a solution to determine vehicle attributes on a street: Vehicle Size (cars […]
Sportsperson performance improvement
A leading manufacturer of electronic devices faced issues when it came to creating an application infrastructure for professional golfers that can help them improve. Using the client’s proprietary Evaluation Module based on custom firmware, Alumnus designed a solution that can collect swing data directly from the Golf Club to allow further analyses. The user can […]
Loyalty management for retail telecom
A telecom company needed to devise a way to provide paperless coupon service, as part of a Retail Loyalty Coupon Solution. The system needed to convey promotional offers through mobile devices and customize those offers for end customer segments. Alumnus developed the customer loyalty framework, consisting of the Server, Portal and mobile apps that enables the […]
Traffic flow simulation
A National Highways department simulated traffic patterns and signal synchronisation across Highways and in-city roads using discretised N-body simulation and FORTRAN-based modelling software systems. These were built over many years by different laboratories and universities. After remedying existing bugs in the Fortran code, Alumnus Integrated two separate parts, FreeSim and NetSim, into a single software system. […]
