Project Summary
Title Porting Motorola Phone code (SUAPI) over Rex/L4/Iguana OS
Duration May 2008 – Till Date Client In-house Product development
Team size 3 Language C
Description Motorola has a thin interface/abstraction layer between its code and the underlying OS called as SUAPI. This layer provides all the required OS services (Semaphore, Timers, Tasks, Memory, Interrupts, Queue, Ports, Flags, Name Services, Messages, etc) to Motorola code. Changes were made to the same layer in order support Rex L4 OS over MSM6246 Chipset.

Responsibility

- Individual contributor/Feature Lead
- Responsible for the entire porting effort
- Involved in system being up
-      Support the product team with all OS related queries

Title Porting Motorola Phone code (SUAPI) over Nucleus OS/TI Neptune Platform
Duration Aug 2007 – May 2008 Client In-house Product development
Team size 3 Language C
Description Motorola SUAPI layer provides all the required OS services (Semaphore, Timers, Tasks, Memory, Interrupts, Queue, Ports, Flags, Name Services, Messages, etc) to Motorola code. The same layer was updated to support Nucleus OS over TI OMAP1030 (Neptune) Chipset. This layer coexists with TI lower layers and main task in the porting effort was to make sure there were no conflicts.
Responsibility – Senior member of the team
- Panic core dump parsing using Tcl Scripts
- Resolving System Integration issues
- Support for BSP/PAL Services like: Time and Cache
- Unified Memory Manager for the platform
- Conformance and Performance Test framework
Title Audio for Dual Mode Handset (iDEN + CDMA) Platform
Duration May 2005 – Aug 2007 Client In-house Product development
Team size 5 Language C
Description The Audio Component allows the audio to be routed from any of applications or other components to the lower layers. The decision to choose the device and the modem where any sound would be played is taken by this audio component.

The lower layer design was very complex as the platform had two radios integrated (for CDMA and iDEN). Audio from iDEN was being fed over SAP port and being directly sent to Qualcomm DAC. Time critical decisions had to be taken to give priority to one radio over another.

Middle Layer Tasks:
- Choosing/Storing the customer requested settings: Ringer type/volume/vibrations, accessories (headset, BT, etc).
- Audio Prioritization: deciding on what audio needs to be played, aborting the currently played audio in the process or blocking the lower priority audio.
- Synchronizing with iDEN radio for audio related requests.

Lower layer tasks:
- Analog die path (BSP) configuration in Qualcomm chipset (MSM6550, MSM6100 and MSM6250)
- Audio routing/path selection in Qualcomm (DMSS) vocoder and sound engine.
- Gain line settings: Setting Gains for various input/output devices
- Adding new path config/devices in Qualcomm Engine – Serial Audio Port (SAP) input, BT or EMU output, etc.
- Initializing GPIO to select correct devices during power up.
Responsibility Feature Owner
- Responsible for all phases of software development: from requirement capturing to final delivery of the products.
- Interfaced with Qualcomm Engineers for resolve lower level issues, bugs in the chipset
- Was responsible for Audio Routing/Quality of at least 4 commercially available mobile phones: ic902, ic502, ic602, ic402 Sprint Dual Mode (CDMA and iDEN PTT)
– Received 2 “BRAVO” recognition awards during the execution of this project
