During April 2025, Chen JH developed and integrated RK3528 clock driver support into the flipperdevices/u-boot repository, enabling hardware compatibility for RK3528-based devices at the bootloader level. The work involved implementing Clock Resource Unit (CRU) register access and clock operations in embedded C, as well as updating the Makefile to include the new driver and refining PLL clock handling to address RK3528-specific requirements. This low-level programming effort improved boot stability and reduced integration risk for new hardware SKUs. Chen demonstrated expertise in driver development, embedded systems, and SoC clock management, delivering a focused and technically robust feature addition.
