About this opportunity:

Since long the standard option for embedded programing with critical timing has been C with the occasional section of assembler. As C has many degrees of freedom it also presents several ways to do mistakes that could have system wide impact. To counter this the industry has built static, and is some cases, dynamic, analysis tools to warn the users about suspected mistakes that passes compilation. In paralell, languages that has low requirements regarding timing have evolved methods that reduce these risks already on the syntactic level. The master thesis aimes at exploring the possibility to merge these perspectives.

What you will do:

The objective of this thesis is to investigate if is feasible to convert the current code base to another language. Aspects the could be considered is
* What languges are good candidates for this porting
* Time/effort to port (Manual/Automatic?)
* Is gradual/step wise porting possible
* Will the new code suffer from any performance loss and will it be critical
The current code base is large, written in C and impelement part of a mobile network communication stack. It has dependencies to code written in other languages e.g. C++ and assembler. The part in C code be view in isolation but considering the other modules would be beneficial.

Thesis Work Parts

The work will start with a theoretical study of available languages and their theoretical performance. This also includes the selection of tools and work environment. In parallel there is a need to get a basic understanding of the domain i.e., the existing developer frameworks and the architecture of the current code. The thesis will be concluded with a result presentation for the (COMPANY NAME) team.
