In the course of the PASS project (http://www.pass-projekt.de/), we are investigating the possibility to flexibly extend vehicles with new functionality without compromising safety and security. A particular challenge in this context is to evaluate the developed assurance methods regarding correct execution and communication between apps. For this purpose, an existing concept for an evaluation framework [1] shall be implemented in the course of this bachelor thesis and extended based on established benchmarks and a suitable measurement environment.

Your Tasks

• Implement the evaluation framework concept presented in [1] for FreeRTOS on a the Xilinx ZCU102 evaluation board
• Extend the evaluation framework with existing benchmark functions (e.g. Mälardalen WCET benchmark programs [2] and TACLe benchmarks [3])
• Conceptualize and setup a suitable measurement environment for the evaluation framework

Your Profile

• Good knowledge in C programming
• Enjoy dealing with embedded systems
• Knowledge on benchmarking would be advantageous

What you can expect

• Collaboration with a young international team
• Your own contribution to the exciting research project PASS (http://www.pass-projekt.de/)
• Implementation of your ideas and concepts on real embedded hardware as used by major automotive suppliers and producers
