CARLO Rover: Distributed BTM v1.1 Avionics Architecture & Terramechanical Integration
Official engineering and system architecture proposal for the CARLO (Compact Autonomous Rover for Long-Range Operations) planetary exploration platform. The document details the distributed avionics architecture based on a redundant SpaceWire/SpaceVPX ring topology, zero-RAM telemetry encoding via the BTM v1.1 2-adic algorithm on LEON3 SPARC V8 processors, NiTi SMA superelastic wheels, and Bekker-Wong terramechanics integration. Compliant with ECSS-E-ST-10C and NASA SP-2016-6105 standards. Includes high-resolution architectural diagrams, formal C99 production code specifications, and AIT qualification plans.
