Worked on the flipperdevices/u-boot repository to enhance the reliability of Qualcomm platform watchdog timers by addressing a critical bug related to timeout validation. Focused on embedded systems and C programming, the developer implemented a robust check in the watchdog timer logic to ensure requested timeouts do not exceed hardware-supported limits, thereby preventing register overflow and potential system instability. The solution involved converting requested timeouts to watchdog ticks and clamping values to the hardware maximum, aligning with hardware interfacing best practices. This targeted fix improved system stability during both boot and runtime, reducing the risk of watchdog-induced outages across Qualcomm SoCs.
