Feasibility study of an Integrated Program for Aerospace vehicle Design (IPAD). Volume 6: IPAD system development and operation
The strategy of the IPAD implementation plan presented, proposes a three phase development of the IPAD system and technical modules, and the transfer of this capability from the development environment to the aerospace vehicle design environment. The system and technical module capabilities for each phase of development are described. The system and technical module programming languages are recommended as well as the initial host computer system hardware and operating system. The cost of developing the IPAD technology is estimated. A schedule displaying the flowtime required for each development task is given. A PERT chart gives the developmental relationships of each of the tasks and an estimate of the operational cost of the IPAD system is offered
Digital signal processor fundamentals and system design
Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) have been used in accelerator systems for more than fifteen years and have largely contributed to the evolution towards digital technology of many accelerator systems, such as machine protection, diagnostics and control of beams, power supply and motors. This paper aims at familiarising the reader with DSP fundamentals, namely DSP characteristics and processing development. Several DSP examples are given, in particular on Texas Instruments DSPs, as they are used in the DSP laboratory companion of the lectures this paper is based upon. The typical system design flow is described; common difficulties, problems and choices faced by DSP developers are outlined; and hints are given on the best solution
Inside Job: Diagnosing Bluetooth Lower Layers Using Off-the-Shelf Devices
Bluetooth is among the dominant standards for wireless short-range
communication with multi-billion Bluetooth devices shipped each year. Basic
Bluetooth analysis inside consumer hardware such as smartphones can be
accomplished observing the Host Controller Interface (HCI) between the
operating system's driver and the Bluetooth chip. However, the HCI does not
provide insights to tasks running inside a Bluetooth chip or Link Layer (LL)
packets exchanged over the air. As of today, consumer hardware internal
behavior can only be observed with external, and often expensive tools, that
need to be present during initial device pairing. In this paper, we leverage
standard smartphones for on-device Bluetooth analysis and reverse engineer a
diagnostic protocol that resides inside Broadcom chips. Diagnostic features
include sniffing lower layers such as LL for Classic Bluetooth and Bluetooth
Low Energy (BLE), transmission and reception statistics, test mode, and memory
