10Gbit Ethernet Adapter Development

Working on contract, Xylanta staff developed two 10Gbit Ethernet adapters for a customer. These were destined to be OEM products and had to meet all the end-customer's extensive electrical, environmental and regulatory requirements. The project involved NIC and test jig hardware design using Mentor tools, management of an external PCB house, BOM/build information for manufacture in Asia.

FM/RDS/DAB/Navigation/Reception Test Rides In Europe

Xylanta regularly undertake Infotainment System test rides across Europe for customers. These typically involve executing various formal and informal tests in locations known to be challenging for the systems, often whilst comparing performance to a ‘reference unit’. In addition to performing the tests, we frequently develop the test setups and collaborate on the test methodology as well.

Wheelspeed Angular Processor

Developed for motorsport applications, this consists of custom ARM processor based hardware and firmware that measures the angular position of 2 trigger discs, together with the phase between them in real-time. The results are delivered via a CAN bus, which can also be used for configuration of the unit.

Infotainment Video Capture Tool

This bespoke HMI test hardware was developed to support automated testing of HMI functions. It is based around an ARM processor and a FPGA for the video capture. Xylanta were responsible for the complete hardware design, PCB layout, firmware and manufacture.

Script Driven Infotainment Test Application

The customer required a method of easily generating repeatable tests that could be written by non-programmers and held under version control. Xylanta developed an automated, script driven full system test tool specifically for them, utilising C++, the WxWidgets framework and the open-source Lua script language.

Dummy Inkjet Printerhead For System Testing

In order to perform long term testing of inkjet printhead control electronics the customer required a mechanism for simulating the actual printhead without any need for ink, media etc. The solution designed and developed by Xylanta, supports up to 16 dummy printheads, monitoring print data for corruption and providing switchable, fully protected power loads. A C# application provides system control and fault logging capabilities.
