Highlights of a few executed projects
? UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) compliant 2G/4G/8G FC HBA driver development and maintenance (Executed on-site/offshore):
Description:
The EFI specification defines a new model for the interface between operating systems and platform firmware. The EFI specification is used for Itanium architecture-based computers.
QLogic manufactures FC (Fibre Channel) HBAs(Host Bus Adapters) w/ PCI-X/PCIe slots. These HBAs can be used as a boot device in a SAN environment. QLogic ships these cards to OEMs as a part of their SAN solution. Adding new features, up gradation according to latest market needs, bug fixes, debugging and supporting client are major activities in this project.

? TCPKDTT: Porting open source lwIP TCP/IP stack in application space of Windows and preparation of Glue logic between stack and Windows OS
Description:
Motto behind bringing TCP/IP stack in application space of windows is to have better control over different knobs and dials of stack. Knobs and Dial means different parameters of stack like retransmission timer, MTU, etc. which cannot be controlled easily of OS's stack. This ported stack is used as other end of TOE to test TOE in lab. By having stack in application space, stack can be better controlled for knobs & dials and could create different scenarios to test TOE. Stack uses different resources of OS like semaphores, thread, mutex etc. Glue logic is developed between lwIP stack and Windows OS. The lwIP is an open source lightweight implementation of the TCP/IP in C.
Client Name: QLogic, Roseville, USA
Development Tools: MSVC++ 6.0
Development Language: C
Development Platform: Windows 2000 (x86)
Roles in Project:
1) Selecting an open source TCP/IP stack
2) Feasibility study and proposal preparation
3) Porting stack in application space of Windows
4) Preparation of Glue Library for Windows
5) Preparation of test suites to test ported stack in single and multi-threaded environment

? TestDB: ASIC Verification Test Database
Description:
This tool is a central verification environment data storage element for QLogic Roseville products. The basic idea is to reduce ongoing efforts required to manage verification infrastructure, freeing engineers & managers to concentrate on the ASIC design.
This tool has client-server architecture. All packages/third-party-software used in this tool are open source. This tool is developed in such a modular way that any package can be easily replaced with other alternative package available in market with minimum changes in tool. The client machine has two interfaces to access TestDB database 1) Command Line Interface (CLI) 2) Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Following packages are used for TestDB tool development:
1) XML-RPC package: This package is used for communication between Client and Server machines.
2) Postgres: Database
3) Tomcat 5.1: Web server
Client Name: QLogic, Roseville, USA
Development Language: C, Struts
Development Tool: MSVC 6.0, Java 1.4.2 compiler
Debugging Tool: pgAdmin3
Development Platform: Solaris (SPARC), Linux (x86), Windows (x86)
Roles in Project:
1) TestDB tool client package development
2) Define testing strategy to verify the tool and it's execution
3) Exploration of third party packages which could be useful for TestDB tool
4) Visit to QLogic(Roseville) for downloading/hand-over the TestDB tool

? PosImp: POSIX implementation for OS APIs
Description:
In this project, QLogic specific customized OS APIs are developed in C, which are wrapper to POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface standards) compliance native OS APIs. This library hides platform specific implementation from application developer. Customisation was done for OS functionalities according to QLogic's requirement, which are not supported by native OS. For example, I) quit after some time to get a particular resource, ii) check whether thread is running or not etc.
Following functionalities are implemented: 1) mutex 2) thread 3) semaphore 4) memory 5) timer
Client Name: QLogic, Roseville, USA
Development Tools: gcc
Development Language: C
Development Platform: Linux (x86), Solaris (SPARC)
Roles in Project:
1) Feasibility study and proposal preparation
2) Design of POSIX compliance OS APIs
3) Development and testing of POSIX compliance OS APIs
