In November 2024, Akash Em worked on the uw-midsun/fwxv repository, focusing on maintaining code stability in embedded systems and firmware development. He addressed a critical issue by rolling back the hardware timer capability, which involved removing the initialization routines, timer start logic, callback functions, and interrupt handlers written in C. Akash also deleted the main application file that depended on these timer functions, ensuring the codebase returned to a stable baseline. He validated the build without timer components and documented the rationale for this rollback, demonstrating a methodical approach to microcontroller firmware maintenance and repository management within the project.
