These are some files used to test the SDL RACEway image decompression cards developed for Recon Optical for the Darkstar UAV. I was called in to do this programming when the work group responsible was running into a deadline and didn't have time to do it themselves. Two of the group had taken the RACEway programming course, and had the books from the course. So I read the books rather than take the course myself, and programmed and configured the system. This has been a fairly typical situation in my career.

• Functional test programming:
  • dcmpftst.h
    
  • dcmpftst.c
    
  • runfdcmp, a script to run the functional test.
    
• Test interlacing to the buffer as required to display the decompressed image.
  • dcmpitst.h
    
  • dcmpitst.c
    
  • runidcmp, a script to run the interlace test.
    
• System configuration and hardware descriptor files. These don't look like they amount to much, but figuring out how to do them is definitely a challenge!
  • dcmp.cfg
    
  • dcmp.des
    
  • dcmpvme.des
