Development Phase

The development phase can be broadly classified into 7 aspects

  • Primary and Secondary Bootloader
  • SDK
  • Compilers
  • RF front end configurations and mmWave DFP
  • Safety Aspects
  • Security Aspects
  • Signal Processing Chain
  • MCAL, Autosar
  • Hardware Module Design

Let’s discuss all the aspects in detail to understand better. For every aspect a set of documents is also be mentioned which helps design/develop that phase better.
