Content / mission

The candidate will be part of the R&D Team.

The Silicon Mobility solution is based on a System-On-Chip called OLEA® FPCU (Field Programmable Control Unit) that embeds CPU cores, programmable logic, memories, and peripherals. OLEA FPCU supports model-based design using Matlab® as a design framework.

The candidate is responsible for:

  • developing Simulink models for multi-core applications,
  • defining and applying a verification method to ensure that developed Simulink Models are equivalent to the embedded version in the FPCU.

This project will be divided into 3 main phases:

Ramp-up:

  • Learning phase on the FPCU.
  • Use Framework for a simple example as a training.
  • Use Multi-core OS for simple example as a training.

Model specification and development:

  • Analyse existing application specifications.
  • Specify the multi-core application.
  • Develop a model (using Matlab® Simulink).
  • Adapt the automatic code generation flow to support Multi-core OS.

Tests specification and Verification:

  • Specify the test and verification method.
  • Develop the test and apply it on RTL simulation and then on the FPCU development board.

Report issue(s) to the development team
