Phase 2 – Prototype

The purpose of phase two is to create a functional model that meets your finalized requirements. Algorithms will be optimized, finalized and verified. All layers of the software (physical, device driver, and application) will be developed as well as the user interface. A detailed design of the hardware including schematics will be completed and run through a critical design review. Finally the PCB will be laid out, built, debugged, and verified. Depending on your needs, this phase can be repeated for Alpha and Beta versions. When complete, you will be furnished a complete documentation package.

Goal

Our goal is to design a custom hardware/software solution that achieves the fit, form and functionality of your finalized requirements.

Required to Start

To get started, we will need a Phase 1 Proof of Concept (or similar) and your finalized requirements.

Main Tasks

Algorithm

Generate Algorithm Requirements
Prototype Algorithms in MatLab
Optimization
Verification & Validation

Software

Physical Layer (BSP)
Device Driver Layer
Application Layer
User Interface, GUI/Windows
Verification

Hardware
