Company Name: DITC; Customer Name: Bendix Corporation.
• Developed a customized flash-loader for MC9S08QG4 MCU using a 32 bit DSP, TMS320F2810 
as the master.
The project is innovative as the master communicates with slave using only the two power 
line carrier wires.
• Developed a customized bootloader for MC68HC908QT4 MCU using a 32 bit DSP from Texas 
Instruments,
TMS320F2810 as the master. The project is being considered for patent by our company.
• Converted the manufacturer-supplied Slave side code of Developer’s Serial Bootloader 
for MC68HC08 family of
microcontrollers from Assembly Language to C language.
• Developed a complete firmware from scratch for the fail-safe module of the main 
Electronic control unit (ECU) of a
tractor which uses MC68HC908QT4 MCU as the controller of the fail-safe module and 
MC9S12D64 16-bit
microcontroller as the main controller of the ECU unit.
• Developed firmware for the Wheel End Sensor of a trailer (consisting of the 8-bit MCU 
MC68HC908QT4) which resides
inside the wheel axle and provides wheel parameters (wheel speed, rotation direction, 
temperature, acceleration, etc.)
to the main ECU of the trailer (consisting of the DSP- TMS320F2810PBKA) using a standard 
two wire interface.
