Signal Processing Redesign for a Digital Signal Processor
for Medical Measurements
Customer's Challenge
In order to optimize price and miniaturize the products, the overall signal processing, which had resided on several processors should be concentrated on one digital signal processor (DSP). However, the customer had no prior experience with signal processors, particularly not with the SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) processors of the C6000 family.
Outcome
A working prototype was produced on the first attempt, which the customer was then able to further develop to production readiness.
Implementation
Because the customer had no experience with DSP, we have taken over the selection of the processor, the implementation of the drivers and the implementation and transfer respectively of the signal processing from other platforms. The newly developed code was generated according MISRA for safety critical applications. Through iterative, agile delivery the feasibility could be established rapidly and a first integration in products performed.
In addition we have supported the customer in the development of the hardware with the high-speed DSP in order to achieve a working prototype on the first attempt.
