Worked on enhancing the bootloader for the Accton Godwit GA1 within the peterbarker/ardupilot repository, focusing on improving bootloader performance and reliability. The engineering effort centered on updating the bootloader configuration to refine serial initialization order and optimize peripheral power management, resulting in more deterministic startup behavior and smoother hardware integration. Leveraged C programming and embedded systems expertise, with firmware development as a core competency. Integrated AP_HAL_ChibiOS for hardware-software coordination and ensured version-control traceability through dedicated commits. The work provided a more reliable deployment process and established a foundation for easier future upgrades of bootloader tooling and configuration management.
