Over a three-month period, contributed to the PurdueElectricRacing/firmware repository by architecting and delivering core embedded systems features for electric vehicle control and telemetry. Developed a scalable CAN communication framework, integrated FreeRTOS for real-time task management, and ported dashboard functionality to new STM32G4 hardware. Enhanced system reliability through robust fault management, modular build system optimization, and targeted bug fixes addressing race conditions and blocking issues. Leveraged C, C++, and Python to implement hardware interfacing, data validation, and configuration management. Comprehensive documentation and onboarding improvements reduced technical debt, while new modules for driveline monitoring and sensor integration enabled earlier platform testing.
2026-03 Monthly Summary for PurdueElectricRacing/firmware: Delivered core firmware readiness and first-pass subsystems enabling earlier testing of the Main26 platform. Key features delivered include Core Main26 bringup (AMKs, SDC, FSM), Dash26 and ABOX26 communications bringups, HV Wheelspin with heartbeat integration, IZZE IMU integration, and the 2026 FCTT feature. These contributions establish a foundation for reliability, interoperability, and new capabilities in wheel control and sensor integration. Major bugs fixed during the month include the FreeRTOS semaphore initialization patch, SPMC race condition patch, and Blocking CAN RX fix, improving system reliability and non-blocking operation. Additional maintenance and cleanup activities (removing Orion configs, deprecated module cleanout, archive datasheets, and repo maintenance) reduce technical debt and improve onboarding. Technologies demonstrated include FreeRTOS, CANpiler schema upgrades, IZZE IMU integration, FCTT torque path, heartbeat mechanisms, LCD refactor, and enhanced documentation and version-control visibility for easier maintenance and auditing.
