Worked on the BrownSpaceEngineering/PVDXosV2 repository to enhance the reliability and efficiency of embedded system watchdog timers. Developed a feature that throttles watchdog check-ins by introducing conditional logic using should_checkin and interval-based enqueue mechanisms. This approach ensured that check-in commands were only enqueued when a specified time interval had elapsed, effectively reducing unnecessary resource consumption across multiple RTOS tasks. The implementation, written in C, focused on optimizing task management and minimizing command overhead within the embedded environment. Over the course of the month, the work addressed resource waste and contributed to more robust system monitoring without introducing new bug fixes.
