Project Description: 

TSI-TelSys, Inc., designs, manufactures and markets high performance data acquisition, simulation and communication systems for the aerospace industry.

While working at TSI this summer, I worked on reducing the amount of hardware required to run a certain embedded system by experimenting with next generation embedded Field Programmable Gate Arrays to try and see if all real-time applications could be run on only one processor instead of two. I learned and later assisted in the process of making builds for the digital fabric's bit instances and the embedded linux kernel.

I cross compiled various open-source applications such as Apache and MySQL to run on the system to see if the embedded hardware could handle the load. I also assisted in profiling and verifying the gigabit ethernet interface speeds with different variations of the device drivers using DMA and attempted to optimize the embedded system for gigabit ethernet use. I also learned parts of the Web Application Development
Software Product that runs on the embedded hardware and is highly dependent on Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
