PROFILE
Anton Kirilov
Worked on the torvalds/linux repository to enable Neural Processing Unit (NPU) support for the FriendlyElec NanoPi R6C and R6S boards, focusing on hardware-accelerated AI and machine learning workloads at the edge. This was achieved by modifying the device tree using DTS, integrating the NPU into the ARM64 Rockchip platform, and ensuring kernel-level feature enablement. The change allows for faster on-device AI inference, reduced CPU usage, and improved energy efficiency, laying the groundwork for future machine learning framework integration. Demonstrated skills in device tree management, embedded systems, and hardware integration, delivering a focused, auditable kernel change with clear documentation.
