The project is to add new audio chip (es705 & es755) support of leading Chip Company(Audience) into ALSA
Framework by developing ALSA driver for Kernel. Audio chip has mainly 4 interfaces to communicate with Host
processor: UART, I2C, I2S and SLIMBUS. The Project was divided into two phases:
Phase I: Integrate audio chip in ALSA framework for Command transfer support by I2C and Data Transfer
support by I2S with OMAP4430 host processor using TI PANDA board
Phase II: Integrate audio chip in ALSA framework for both Command transfer support and Data Transfer
support by SLIMBUS with MSM8960 host processor using Intrinsyc Dragon board
Integrated ALSA driver is used by Android HAL layer successfully.

Job Roles:
 Involved in development of ALSA audio driver for audio chip in phases, build setup and porting
Android on TI Panda board and Intrinsyc Dragon board.
 Studied ALSA framework.

Team size: 1
Tools used: vpn connect, shell script, xmlint, ncftp, mail,git, .
Description:
This project involves developing of a shell script for automating the client source code release process. It
mainly involves downloading the source code configuration files from gerrit after integration process and
releasing the code, firmware, supporting files according to the client standards. This also notifies after
successful release through mail acknowledgement.
Job Roles:
 Involved from the starting phase of feasibility testing to final project delivery to the developers.
 Achieved multiple platform source code release process in one go .
