Dec 1, 2025

December 2025: Delivered two high-impact features for DragonBluep/openwrt that expand hardware support and deployment options. Implemented MT7987 SPI-NAND SPIM build configuration to enable SPI-NAND storage via SPIM for MT7987, and added Routerich BE7200 router support with device tree configurations, U-Boot settings, and network interface definitions. No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on robust hardware bring-up and integration with established build and boot processes. The work enhances product reach, reduces deployment risk, and demonstrates strong capabilities in embedded Linux, bootloaders, and hardware bring-up.

Jan 1, 2025

January 2025: Efficiency and reliability improvements for ImmortalWrt on Mediatek platforms. Implemented a bulk fw_setenv workflow to replace multiple individual env writes, cutting flash writes and speeding initial setup; fixed a soft brick on Xiaomi AX3000t (rd23) by ensuring nvram settings are consistently applied at boot via bulk fw_setenv, preventing premature exit during setup. Result: reduced flash wear, faster provisioning, and improved device reliability across Mediatek targets. Skills demonstrated: shell scripting, OpenWrt provisioning, commit traceability, and firmware environment management.
