AMD Video Scaler
Implemented Lanczos and Bilinear algorithms for image upscaling in RTL using Verilog and in HLS using C. Optimized kernel-memory mapping on AI Engine tiles to maximize computation speed and minimize latency, area, and power.
Kria KV260 Bring-Up
Built custom OS using Petalinux and ran the Tensorflow CNN Model for image classification using Vitis-AI. Authored a white paper for the bring-up process.
MIL1533B Demo
Developed bare-metal firmware to demonstrate functionality of the RTL ML1533B IP on a custom board, implementing and validating client-provided test cases for verification.
MIL
Designed and implemented FSM for BC to RT communication, Data Serializer and Deserializer module for MIL1553B protocol. Implemented UART with AXI4 interface having 32 bits address alignment.
Thermal Imager
Implemented image-simulator, 1-point non-uniformity correction module, and raw to RGB module in a real-time image processing pipeline. Designed a human-to-machine module for system interaction.
Optical Weapon Sight
Implemented serial protocols like UART and I2C for interfacing thermal camera and micro-OLED display. Interfaced multi-sensor Ballistic Computer Chip to provide offsets for targeting in real-world scenarios.
