Design and implementation of prototype firmware for ESTCube-2 primary communication subsystem

Abstract

This thesis is focused on software development for the primary communications system of ESTCube-2 nanosatellite. The goals are to describe and document the architecture of the systems software, develop primary prototype software and test it in different cenarios. The system must be compatible with previously agreed standards, developed communication system hardware and other subsystems of the satellite. As part of this bachelor’s thesis, top and low level functionality of ESTCube-2 communication system was stated and implemented, including data handling, data transmission, communication with other subsystems, error handling and logging.
