Content / Mission

The Silicon Mobility solution is based on OLEA® FPCU (Field Programmable Control Unit) that embeds a CPU core, programmable logic, memories, and peripherals. This hardware solution uses a model-based design framework under MATLAB developed by Silicon Mobility.

The intern will participate to the activities of the R&D system team. It will be responsible of developing Simulink model based on requirements and a target hardware, defining and applying a verification method to ensure that developed Simulink models have the same behaviour as the version embedded in the FPCU.

This project will be divided into 3 main phases:

Ramp-up:

• Learning phase on the FPCU
• Usage of the framework with a simple example

Model specification and development:

• Analyse the existing hardware specification.
• Specify the model functionality.
• Develop the model (using MATLAB Simulink)
• Integrate the model in the automatic code generation flow.

Tests specification and Verification:

• Specify a method to verify Simulink Models (using potentially MATALB and RTL simulation tool as QuestaSim)
• Precisely describe the test method (with its specificities)
• Develop the test and apply it.
