    2007 · Esslingen University · diploma thesis (at Gigatronik)

    Diploma thesis: an autocode interface integrating embedded hardware into TargetLink for various microcontroller architectures

    From Simulink model straight into the moving car.

    Diploma thesis: a TargetLink library that binds model-generated C code directly — no hand-coding — onto the canAIDER universal ECU (TriCore TC1796) and its real hardware interfaces (IO, ADC, PWM, SPI, I²C, CAN), enabling application software to be tested in the vehicle early. Graded 1.5; hired afterwards.

    2006–2007 · Esslingen University

    Study project: development of an OSEK-compliant real-time operating system (HSE Free OSEK)

    Before I orchestrated platforms, I wrote an operating system.

    Study project: with a fellow student, built a preemptive, priority-based real-time OS to the OSEK standard entirely from scratch — kernel, two schedulers and assembly-level context switching for two microcontroller architectures (ARM7 LPC2148 & Freescale HCS12), incl. a custom context-storage scheme against nested interrupts. Graded 1.0 (best possible).
