PROJECTS:

Time-lapse Real Time Image Monitoring Design Summer 2016

-Performed a time-lapse image acquisition on a NVIDIA Jetson Linux system that interfaces UVC Logitech camera

-Captured individual frames from the camera at 1 Hz to verify the acquisition and encoded the raw ppm frames to MPEG4 video

-Verified the time-lapse sequence by observing indoor processes like melting of ice cubes and outdoor events like movement of trees at 1 Hz and verified the system’s capture ability at 10 Hz by capturing 6000 frames in 9 minutes for jitter issues.

Created a Distributed File System for Reliable and Secure File Storage using TCP protocol Fall 2016

-Created a Client and four Servers for uploading and downloading files onto and from 4 Distributed File Servers by splitting the file into four pieces P1, P2, P3 and P4 and uploaded onto four Servers and retrieved them back to reconstruct the file.

-Handled multiple connection requests from several Clients using pthread and fork and performed traffic optimization to avoid receiving redundant files from the servers. Encrypted the data using DES algorithm before data transfer to Servers.

Creation of a Custom Embedded system with Atmel AT89C51, Serial LCD, GLCD and EEPROM to perform data storage operations in memory, I2C bit-banging for data communication and a gaming application using GLCD Spring 2016

-Designed a custom embedded system board from the scratch with 8051 to perform I2C bit-banging to 24LC16B EEPROM, storage of data in heap and external data memory for data processing

-Designed a portable video gaming application with a 128x64 Graphic LCD and ADXL345 accelerometer through SPI protocol to sense the movements of the game and displayed the details on the LCD. Used Keypad as well for controlling the game.

-Interfaced a 16*4 Character LCD with 8051 to perform DDRAM and CGRAM accessing and for operations like implementing a real-time clock, I/O expander circuit with PCF8574 using I2C protocol and for the storage of custom characters

RELEVANT COURSES:

Embedded Systems Design, Real Time Embedded Systems, Mastering Embedded Systems Architecture, Programmable Systems on a Chip, Mobile Computing, Advanced Computer Architecture, Network Systems and Embedded Software Essentials
