Required to implement a "retro" data communications protocol on a new generation target. Integrated it onto a MIPS AU1100 platform with ATMEL MEGA/1890 RF Controller. RF controller required many modifications to compensate for new antenna, non-oven controlled reference oscillator, power amplifier, temperature compensation, GPS/Compass control, DAC and ADC configurations. Many new device drivers written for both platforms.
Challenges
No geo-proximate support for firmware. Support in the UK allowed a 3-4 hr daily window. Tight budget for UK resources . Received congratulatory letter for accomplishing the impossible.
