Scope
- The existing system consists of a control board with a Main CPU, a Control CPU and a Sub CPU of which the Main CPU provides the user interface to the centrifuge system. The existing system is an OS-less implementation and therefore has limited options for future enhancement. The need was to redesign the system with a Main CPU board running Linux operating system with QT based application and a control board.
Solution
Hardware
- Main CPU Board Hardware re-designed using TI AM3352 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 Processor.
Software
- Embedded Linux version 3.12
- Qt (LGPL) of Digia is to be used for GUI development
- Existing code is Ported to new platform
- Look & Feel of GUI as maintained as like existing system
Benefits
- Development, Manufacturing and System Integration Partner
- Improved market share
Results
- Cost saving of existing board by PCB size reduction with advanced features.
