Mohamed Azhar developed foundational hardware support for Microchip Port G1 across Zephyr-based ecosystems, focusing on pin control and GPIO functionality. He implemented Device Tree bindings and core drivers in C for nrfconnect/sdk-zephyr and Zephyr4Microchip/zephyr, enabling reliable pin multiplexing and GPIO operations. His work extended Zephyr’s Microchip coverage by integrating SoC and board support for PIC32CM JH and PIC32CZ CA series, including device-tree definitions and board configurations. In zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr, he enabled Device Tree-based GPIO support for SAM D5x/E5x and sam_e54_xpro boards, leveraging C, DTS, and YAML to streamline hardware integration and accelerate development.
Month: 2025-10 | Key focus: Device Tree-Based GPIO support enablement for SAM D5x/E5x and sam_e54_xpro boards in zephyr. Delivered DTS wiring and config updates to bring up GPIO functionality across targets, complemented by repository commits that wire the microchip gpio g1 driver with the target boards.

September 2025: Expanded Zephyr's Microchip coverage with notable feature deliveries across pinctrl, SoC support, and development boards. Implemented Port G1 pinctrl for PIC32CM JH family via DTS and driver updates, enabling pinctrl-driven peripherals. Brought initial PIC32CZ CA80/CA90/CA91 SoC support with device-tree definitions and SOC integration work, enabling Zephyr adoption and hardware planning for these MCUs. Added CA80 Curiosity Ultra Dev Board support with configuration, device-tree, and documentation to accelerate demos and prototyping. Updated tooling and documentation (West manifest and board listings) to streamline integration and future updates. These efforts deliver business value by enabling customers to leverage Microchip MCUs with Zephyr, reducing integration risk, and accelerating product demos and time-to-market.
