PROFILE

Cathy Xu

Worked on hardware enablement and driver development across multiple open-source repositories, including zephyrproject-rtos/trusted-firmware-a, geerlingguy/linux, and flipperdevices/u-boot. Delivered GPIO and pin control support for MediaTek MT8189 and MT8196 platforms, implementing device tree bindings, pinmux headers, and core driver logic in C and YAML. Focused on reliable hardware interfacing and platform initialization, updating data models and register mappings to ensure stable GPIO operations. Addressed a driver bug to improve MT8196 functionality and contributed documentation and code reviews. The work established maintainable interfaces and enhanced platform compatibility, supporting embedded systems and Linux kernel development workflows.
