Other consulting projects

The domains the pole takes missions in.

• Embedded systemsMicrocontroller firmware, peripheral bring-up, serial and industrial links, migration of existing products onto current silicon. This is where the SOGECLAIR case sits.
• Industrial communicationSerial protocols, framing and error handling, and the bridges between an industrial link and an IP network.
• NetworkingEthernet at the MAC and PHY level, and IP stacks on constrained targets.
• ElectronicsSchematic design, component selection, board bring-up and hardware validation.
• Signal and dataAcquisition chains, instrumentation and the processing applied to what they record.
• Software engineeringTooling and applications delivered around the above, where the mission requires them.

• Embedded migration

  SOGECLAIR

  XC167 to STM32H753 migration: UART and RS232 over DMA, protocol state machines, Ethernet over RMII to the PHY, and LwIP above it.

  Open the case

One case is cleared for publication. Other delivered missions belong to their clients and are listed only once the client agrees.

The CTO side of the work: how a mission goes from brief to acceptance.

• ScopingThe technical problem written as a specification with an acceptance criterion, before anyone is staffed to it.
• FeasibilityAn explicit judgement on whether the pole can carry the mission with the people and time available, including declining.
• StaffingEngineers matched to the competence the mission needs, with a named technical owner.
• Technical reviewReview points during the mission rather than only at the end.
• Acceptance and handoverDelivery against the criterion agreed at scoping, with the documentation the client needs to carry the work on.
