[Varies] Component-Watchdog on SPI

Develop and implement a procedure to detect failures of components on an SPI bus.
Course type M.Sc. Teamproject, M.Sc. Thesis 
Instructors Manuel Bentele,  Andreas Podelski
Credits Depends 
Course Catalog Depends 

Today, even medium sized embedded systems consist of multiple components that are interconnected by buses. Technically, these buses are typically rather simple, mainly for reasons such as cost.

In this project, the candidate is supposed to develop a procedure for reliable detection of failures of a number of components connected via an SPI bus. The procedure shall be implemented for a particular embedded system.

The candidate should have a fair background in software-engineering, interest in software development for embedded systems (in C), and at best some background in formal methods.
