  • As the system development environment moves from single core to multi core-based platforms, it becomes more important to maintain compatibility between single core-based implementations and multi core-based implementations. Moreover, it is very important to support real-time on multi core platforms especially in cases of embedded software or test equipments which need real-time as well as correctness. Since Windows operating system dopes not support real-time in itself, it has been supporting real-time using expensive third-party solutions such as RTX or INtime. So as to reduce this kind of development expenses, in this paper, we propose RTiK-MP(Real-Time implant Kernel-Multi Processor) which supports real-time on Windows using the Local APIC of x86 architectures, and evaluate the performance of the proposed RTiK-MP after deploying it on portable missile test equipments.

  • The video data corrupted by the transmission error due to packet loss induce error propagation in decoded video data, and cause poor video quality. To remedy these corrupted video data, there have been introduced two types of error concealment techniques: spatial or temporal error concealment algorithm. Computational overhead by using spatial error concealment algorithm is a serious disadvantage in mobile video data streaming environment. In this paper, we propose hybrid type error concealment technique recovering video quality of mobile device using MPEG-4 video streaming on error-prone wireless network. Our algorithm is implemented in MPEG-4 decoder. The algorithm adopts Intel Wireless MMX technology to provide high performance of portable embedded multimedia mobile device. It is proven that the proposed algorithm shows expected performance for a mobile streaming system(PDA) on IP channels. Our approach showed better processing speed and better video quality comparing with traditional error concealment algorithm.

  • We develop a coronagraph to measure the coronal electron density, temperature, and speed by observing the linearly polarized brightness of solar corona with 4 different wavelengths. Through the total solar eclipse on 21 August 2017, we test an operating software of a prototype coronagraph working with two sub-systems of two motorized filter wheels and a CCD camera that are controlled by a portable embedded computer. A Core Flight System (CFS) is a reusable software framework and set of reusable software applications which take advantage of a rich heritage of successful space mission of NASA. We use the CFS software framework to develop the operating software that can control the two sub-systems asynchronously in an observation scenario and communicate with a remote computer about commands, housekeeping data through Ethernet. The software works successfully and obtains about 160 images of 12 filter sets (4 bandpass filters and 3 polarization angles) during the total phase of the total solar eclipse. For the future, we can improve the software reliability by testing the software with a sufficient number of test cases using a testing framework COSMOS. The software will be integrated into the coronagraph for balloon-borne experiments in 2019.

  • SQLite is a small sized database engine largely used in embedded devices and local application software. The availability of portable devices, such as smartphones, has been extended over the recent years and has contributed to growing adaptation of SQLite. This implies a high likelihood of digital evidences acquired during forensic investigations to include SQLite database files. Where intentional deletion of sensitive data can be made by a suspect, forensic investigators need to recover deleted records in SQLite at the best possible. This study analyzes data management rules used by SQLite and the structure of deleted data in the system, and in turn suggests a recovery Tool of deleted data. Further, the study examines major SQLite suited software as it validates feasible possibility of deleted data recovery.

  • Recently, Embedded systems are different with the past as loading of a simple application program that executed specific functions according to the use and are evolved in the digital convergence integrated multimedia functions and then the complication of the application program is remarkably increased. This application program is combined and evolved with many application program in accordance with the demand of the age. For develope and manage this developing application is necessary standardized interface between developer and manager. POSIX was developed as the standard of the operating system in the standard interface which has the open system structure in computing system, and there is a posix.4 to standard for the system demands the loading of real-time operating system like a digital convergence devices.

  • Recently the CPU performance of modem chipsets or multimedia processors of mobile phone is as high as notebook PC. That is why mobile phone has been emerged as a leading ICON on the convergence of consumer electronics. The various applications of mobile phone such as DMB, digital camera, video telephony and internet full browsing are servicing to consumers. To meet all the demands the image quality has been increasingly important. Mobile phone is a portable device which is widely using in both the indoor and outside environments, so it is needed to be overcome to deteriorate image quality depending on environmental light source. Furthermore touch window is popular on the mobile display panel and it makes contrast loss because of low transmittance of ITO film. This paper presents the image enhancement algorithm to be embedded on image enhancement SoC. In contrast enhancement, we propose Clipped histogram stretching method to make it adaptive with the input images, while S-shape curve and gain/offset method for the static application And CIELCh color space is used to sunlight readability enhancement by controlling the lightness and chroma components which is depended on the sensing value of light sensor. Finally the performance of proposed algorithm is evaluated by using histogram, RGB pixel distribution, entropy and dynamic range of resultant images. We expect that the proposed algorithm is suitable for image enhancement of embedded SoC system which is applicable for the small-sized mobile display.

  • Digital servo implementation in optical servo chip has been spotlighted since it is easy to integrate with other blocks and it has less sensitive characteristics change in terms of temperature variation and better flexibility to the system variation like pick-up. Therefore, Optical disc players adopted digital servo are increasing in market. However, one drawback of digital signal processor embedded digital servo is power consumption that is one of the most important factors of portable optical disc player system. For that reason, this paper introduces new architecture to reduce power consumption of digital servo by means of reducing DSP load but increasing minimum hardware size. The main idea of reducing power consumption of digital servo greatly is utilizing CDP characteristics as most operations are done and used up most operating steps of DSP at the initial time, but most power consumption is occurred in play mode. Therefore, if operating steps for digital filtering in play mode could be reduced greatly, power consumption of overall system can be reduced greatly. This paper shows an example that low power digital servo architecture whose current is reduced almost 83%, compare to that of digital servo which is not applied by the low power architecture introduced in this paper.

  • This work describes an 8b 240 MS/s CMOS ADC as one of embedded core cells for high-performance displays requiring low power and small size at high speed. The proposed ADC uses externally connected pins only for analog inputs, digital outputs, and supplies. The ADC employs (1) a two-step pipelined architecture to optimize power and chip size at the target sampling frequency of 240 MHz, (2) advanced bootstrapping techniques to achieve high signal bandwidth in the input SHA, and (3) RC filter-based on-chip I/V references to improve noise performance with a power-off function added for portable applications. The prototype ADC is implemented in a 0.18 um CMOS and simultaneously integrated in a DVD system with dual-mode inputs. The measured DNL and INL are within 0.49 LSB and 0.69 LSB, respectively. The prototype ADC shows the SFDR of 53 dB for a 10 MHz input sinewave at 240 MS/s while maintaining the SNDR exceeding 38 dB and the SFDR exceeding 50 dB for input frequencies up to the Nyquist frequency at 240 MS/s. The ADC consumes, 104 mW at 240 MS/s and the active die area is 1.36 ㎟.
