Over six months, contributed to the GSI-CS-CO/bel_projects repository by developing and integrating FPGA-based voltage sensing, timing, and data reception features. Delivered robust Avalon-MM and Wishbone bus interfaces, automated build and test workflows, and enhanced firmware deployment using VHDL, Bash, and Python. Improved system reliability through test automation, simulation models, and detailed diagnostics, while streamlining documentation and onboarding processes. Addressed integration risks by refining data paths, timing, and interface logic, and stabilized test harnesses with centralized SSH utilities. The work emphasized maintainable, traceable commits and disciplined version control, supporting faster validation cycles and more reliable hardware-software integration across embedded systems.
March 2026 monthly summary for bel_projects (GSI-CS-CO/bel_projects). Key outcomes include the delivery of CI build automation and new voltage sensing/timing modules, establishing a scalable, automated build pipeline and enabling enhanced hardware monitoring. The work reduces release cycle time and increases build reliability, supporting faster iterations for firmware and timing-related features. A notable timing improvement was achieved by extending offsets between timing messages in the DM schedule (commit 33ebd8844921d768e9b9a510cf31b7576ef0a0ca).
