Embedded Systems Engineer

Description:

The system consists of multiple process boards (COPO) that perform specialist functions. Each

type of COPO runs a unique application. Applications log internal messages locally on their

COPO system. External messages will be stored on a single COPO. The logging work is to

design and implement a logging system within the product. It is not to add logging messages

to the code. WP3 defines the development of the Recovery Application. This is the application

that is run by our bootloader if it fails to run the main application. The recovery application

allows new firmware to be uploaded to the product (based on TFTP) and creates a simple

application that can be booted into in the case of failures.
