This a is a collection of small tasks that can be worked on in the course of a GSoC project. The scope is working on the AXIOM Remote hardware (https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/AXIOM_Remote) which has a hardware prototype finished based on a PIC32 CPU and 320x240 pixel LCD. The software runs "bare metal" and there is no graphics acceleration meaning each pixel is drawn "manually" in the software.
The current AXIOM Remote software code can be found here: https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/AXIOM-Remote/tree/dev/Firmware
Videos of the previous software and hardware are here: https://lab.apertus.org/T1116
**Goals:**
Implement:
- event handling (button interactions, turning the rotary knob, etc.)
- page setup
- histogram, scopes and other graphs drawing (certain overlap with: T734)
- Optimize drawing
- Control of the camera through USB
- Unit tests to verify proper implementation
- ...
**Prerequisites:**
- embedded systems basics (we use a Microchip PIC32MZ CPU) - Full Manual: https://www.alliedelec.com/m/d/1e5e0c2adda09fc1913391ccd4594515.pdf
**Language Skills:**
- C / C++
**Difficulty:** Medium
**Mentors:** Supragya (?), Andrej

**Note: ** As this task requires certain hardware we provide remote access for testing and/or hardware emulation (https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/AXIOM-Remote/tree/master/axiom_remote_visualizer).
