This week my task focus is to survey about the price of electronic components for a project. This is my first time doing such a survey for a real industrial project. I get to see how a Bill of Material (BOM) is listed. The first thing I learnt is the Read more…
This week I was given another task about the CCD optical sensors. CCD is called Charge-coupled device where it is capable of transforming light pattern from an image into an electric charge pattern just like an electronic image. It can collect, store and transport electrical charge from one element to another. Each pixels Read more…

Data Flow Analysis This week I continued in my search for reference in dump files analysis. In the beginning, I found something about Data Flow Analysis and when I look inside the content, it looks like exactly like Mathematics, probability all over again. There are a lot of symbols and Read more…
This week I continued in my attempt to analyse the dump files produced last week. I happened to read online that the dump files are written in pseudo-C syntax, although pseudocode is supposed to be understood more easily, however it still does not make much sense to me. The dump Read more…

The plugin is initiated by plugin_init function, then the plugin is called through register_callback function. For each plugin, a register_callback is required, then the plugin function will be called and Read more…
