Freescale Semiconductor, Ottawa, Ontario 02.08 – 03.09
SW/HW Co-Simulation Prime
Ø Supported
the p4080 ROCOO (Random On-Chip Object-Oriented testing methodology)
environment. Took ownership of the CoreNet BFM/ROCOO testbench. Supported and
enhanced the testbench (SysVerilog), acted as a reference for existing
functionality, was the first to test new RTL drops.
Ø Developed
tests (stimuli), to be run in the simulator (VCS) in order to test new-added
features, and verify the integrity of previous releases.
Ø The
development was done using C/ASM/SystemC/SystemVerilog. The GNU/VCS tools were
used to make simulation modules. The simulation environment provided with logs
and wave files (.vpd/.fsdb), for interpretation of the transactions resulted on
the interconnect.
Ø Developed
boot loader code (U-Boot) for the PAMU (Peripheral Access Management Unit)
block, a IOMMU enabling the p4080’s hardware virtualization features. Debugged
and provided solutions for the address translation mechanism and the operation
translation mappings, which were features of the PAMU block. Developed Ethernet
and OPIC drivers for the p4080’s boot loader.

verification code (kernel modules) for the p4080 model (cycle accurate Simics
models), running on a Linux 2.6, SMP compiled. It was a SMP-oriented kernel
module, scalable, using a producer/consumer thread scheme. The threads could
bounce between cores, or be bound to a particular core. All together it

Ø Kernel System Calls intercepts and library
(user mode) code optimization.
Ø The development was done using C and
assembly, on lab test machines (Solaris9, Solaris10, Linux RH9, RHE3. RHE4,
SUSE10, Windows NT to Vista). The GNU tools were used to make kernel modules
and user mode libraries on Linux/Solaris. On Windows, the MS toolchain
(CL/NMAKE/MASM/ML64) from the PSDK/WINDDK was used.
Ø The intercept code was carefully designed
and implemented to add minimum overhead to the native system calls’ processing.
System call interception in user mode was achieved by on-the-fly modification
(code overwrite) of the application’s libraries (binary op-code injections to
replace the original trap/sw interrupt op-codes).
Ø Reverse engineered Windows system libraries
(ntdll.dll), and developed library intercept/code plant.
Ø Ported from Win32 (x86) to Win64 (AMD64).
Developed the architecture-specific assembly-level AMD64 modules.
Ø Debugged and fixed customer issues in the

on a 2.4 Linux Kernel. The GNU tools were used to make kernel modules. The
target was an embedded x86 platform.

in the pre-silicon verification phase). The ASIC comprised an ARM926E
processor, a ZSP500 DSP, and various AMBA peripherals (DMA, memory, interrupt,
UART, Ethernet, GPIO, etc.). Developed drivers for ARM-targeted boot loader
(U-Boot).
Ø Produced diagnostic code for the different
components of the ASIC – memory content verification, AMBA bus transactions,
interrupt signaling. Used Logic Analyzers to provide with means for wave
(signal activity) capturing and debugging.

(MontaVista) platform. Driver code integration with the Level7’s Layer2 –
Layer3 protocol SW suite. Linux Kernel modifications to suit Critical Telecom’s

make (ELF format) kernel module.
Ø For debugging, GNU DDD tools were used in
conjunction with Logic Analyzers and Oscilloscopes.
Ø Assisted the Architects, FPGA and Hardware
Designers with diagnostic/debug code.
Tundra Semiconductor Corporation, Ottawa, Ontario 07.02
– 06.04
Embedded Software Engineer
Ø Driver development for the Gigabit
Ethernet, UART and MPIC blocks of the StrongPac companion chip (ASIC), on
VxWorks and RedBoot boot loader. Completed the full development cycle of the
device driver: Participated in Design Specifications, Design, Implementation,
Platform Emulation (Pre-Silicon ASIC Verification) testing and Silicon
Validation testing.
Ø The design of the drivers allowed for easy
porting from the initial development platform (RedBoot boot loader), to any
other commercial embedded RTOS.
The GigE driver serviced a dual-port embedded Ethernet
block. The driver user could chose between a 10/100/1000Mbs, full or
half-duplex configuration, by means of an initialization data file. The GigE
used exclusively a DMA mechanism for data transfer between its RX/TX FIFOs and
system SDRAM buffers, and the driver insured data cache synchronization with
system SDRAM.
The UART driver serviced a dual-port embedded UART
block. The MPIC driver serviced a programmable interrupt controller block. It
supported 4 external microprocessors and 32 input sources.
Ø The embedded development was done using
XScale assembly and C. The GNU set of tools was used on i686 machines, to make
downloadable (ELF format) images.
Ø For debugging, ATI’s ICE CodeLab tools were
used in conjunction with HP Logic Analyzers. Xilinx’s Impact tools were used to
download the RTL code into the emulation platform’s FPGAs.
Ø In the ASIC Verification phase, waves would
be captured on Logic Analyzers (xScale transactions, PCI/X transactions, etc),
to assist with debugging.
Ø Silicon (ASIC) Validation test development
for the Tsi310 chip. The test suite for the Tsi310 chip, were developed around
a set of APIs provided by the Agilent Technologies 2929A/B Exerciser/Analyzer
cards. The Agilent Exerciser cards were able to fully emulate the behavior of
standard PCI\X devices on a bus. In addition, they supplied with Logic Analyzer
capabilities, for cards residing on both of the bridge’s interfaces. Waves
reflecting the ASIC (PCI/X) bus activity would be collected and compared with
the (PCI/X) standards.
Silicon Network Access, Ottawa, Ontario 02.01
– 06.02
Network Software Engineer
Ø Embedded driver development for the iFlow
family of network processors (NPU).
Ø Completed the full development cycle of the
iPP (Packet Processor) device driver. The development phases included
Requirement Specifications, Design, Implementation, Documentation (Design
Specifications, User Programmer’s Guide, etc), Testing and Support.
Ø The design of the driver insulated the
platform-independent functionality from the platform-specific one. This was
achieved by means of implementing an OSAM (Operating System Abstraction Module)
for each (RT)OS supported by the iPP driver – VxWorks, LynxOS, Linux, and UNIX.
One particularity of the iPP driver was being a PCI
(PCI memory-mapped registers), and Network Interface (NI) device meanwhile. As
a consequence, the design and implementation were presented with the challenge
to make the two driver models coexist together. Moreover, the requirements
specified for the iPP driver to support multiple devices, each device having
multiple NIs.
Ø The architecture of the iPP device allowed
the use of a DMA mechanism for fast packet data transfer between the iPP device
and Control Plane Processor (CPP).
Consequently, the iPP driver had to handle DMA data buffer allocation,
virtual-to-bus/bus-to-virtual address translation, data cache synchronization,
specific to each supported platform.
Ø The embedded development was done using
C/C++. The GNU, Linux and the LynuxWorks set of tools were used on PPC750,
i686, SPARC machines.
Ø During the pre-silicon verification, the
chipset logic would be loaded onto an FPGA-based platform, waves would be
captured (DMA, PCI, other buses, etc) and looked for S/W or logic errors.
Ø Participated in the Design sessions for the
HW-SW interfacing.

link between the SCC driver residing in the Ethernet card and the radio cards
