PROFILE
Ernest Van Hoecke
Ernest Vanhoecke developed robust variant support for Apalis and Colibri iMX6 System on Modules in the flipperdevices/u-boot repository, focusing on bootloader configuration and device tree management using C. He implemented boot-time detection of the v1.2 SoM variant via the TLA2024 ADC, introducing an environment variable mechanism to automate Device Tree Blob selection. This approach updated the boot configuration to ensure the correct DTBs for ADCs and touch controllers on newer hardware, reducing manual configuration and improving hardware compatibility. Ernest’s work demonstrated depth in embedded systems and hardware detection, streamlining onboarding and future upgrades for evolving SoM variants.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025: Delivered critical variant support and robustness for the Apalis/Colibri iMX6 SoMs in the U-Boot bootloader. Implemented boot-time detection of the v1.2 SoM variant via the TLA2024 ADC and added an environment variable mechanism to drive DTB selection (-v1.2 or empty). Updated boot configuration to automatically select the correct DTB when fdtfile is not set, ensuring proper DTBs for ADCs and touch controllers on newer hardware. This work reduces manual DTB configuration, improves boot reliability across variants, and streamlines hardware onboarding and future upgrades.
