Embedded Acquisition on Zynq
Moving capture into programmable logic for standalone deployment
The Red Pitaya prototype proved the method but depended on a general-purpose instrument. For deployment the acquisition front end had to become part of the device.
Ported the front end onto Zynq-7000 with the AD9467-FMC 16-bit ADC, moving capture into programmable logic with DMA into PS DDR — a standalone embedded system rather than an instrument on a bench.
Separating signature from artifact
A fingerprint that is really an artifact of the measuring equipment is worthless. Cross-validated three ADCs against three probes in every combination. Accuracy held at 100%.

Where it goes next
Currently extending beyond automotive ECUs to drones, robotic arms, GPUs, battery management systems and hardware-in-the-loop test stations — testing whether one physical mechanism, manufacturing variation in switching behaviour, holds across every class of embedded device.
