Adaptation and bugfixing of the XFree86 driver module, for the Siliconmotion Lynx3DM graphic device running under Linux & QNX (X86,SH4).
The X11-Server should being used within embedded systems and should provide therefor a graphics interface with network abilities.
While using an X11-Servers in the unix (qnx) environment we open up our platform to a huge amount of available applications, e.g. media players, Java AWT implementations etc.
Hardware accelerated functions of such graphic devices, such as blitter (XAA), YUV overlay (XVideo), can also being used via the generic X11R6 interface. A high performance usage of the Scarlet and of the Lynx3DM should therefor being guaranteed.
Miscellaneous adaptation of the XFree86 internals to QNX-NTO, for usage for the X86 and SH4 processor are made.

With the assistance of this AWT solution we are able to use standard Java GUI's within the J2ME environment on a Unix and X11R6 based platform.
A QT solution was evaluated as well, but because of the limited availability of a native QT implementation for the embedded device, this approach was discarded.

Project: Location Based Premium Services (Usability)
Activities: Evaluation of an application server based upon XML. The application logic is provided via XML-Tags to the web-author.

XML documents may be filtered (piped) and serialized in such a manner, so the application logic (XSP) as well as multilanguage support and several output formats may be used.
Database objects may be used through the J2EE interface.
The purpose of this server is to provide location based services. Premium information (e.g. traffic control) is provided to the subscriber, which is connected to the network (GSM) and provides it's location via GPS.

Different CNC filters for analysis and completion of vectors. Machine-cycle-optimization and Vector optimizations. While using generic hash-lists incl. a kind of quick-sort, the seeking of variable objects is fast enough for the big programs. A new version of this interpreter generates a kind of byte-code, a OO program tree. This generated instance of the compiled source code is much faster, and the implementation is much cleaner and more modular and OO orientated.
