About Our Project: Fault Analysis of a Medical Device
Responsibilities and Functions
Brief Description
For a short-term project, the task was to identify and correct a sporadic fault in a medical device that caused it to crash. The manufacturer’s development department was unable to locate the error due to incomplete documentation and procurement of components from defunct external companies. The project involved drivers programmed in C, sequence code in C++, and a GUI developed in C#. Multiple networked devices, including communication with a Windows laptop, were part of this project.
Software Migration
Migration of software applications from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2015.
Compiler Warnings
Elimination of various compiler warnings found in different software components.
Log Messages
Enhancement of the software application by adding log messages for improved diagnostic capabilities.
Fault Identification
Identification of the fault through the utilization of an existing flowchart, specifically focusing on isolating it to the initialization phase of a device.
USB Driver Analysis
USB driver analysis, including the search for blocking calls such as deadlocks.
Frame Analysis
Analysis of the frames sent over the interface at the byte level, including frame decoding.
Firmware Analysis
Firmware analysis of the medical devices.
Brute Force Application
Development of an application for automatic brute forcing of the initialization phase and for generating log and statistic messages.
