PROFILE
Jeff Johnson
Worked on NVIDIA/linux-firmware, delivering firmware and board updates for ath11k and ath12k devices to enhance hardware compatibility, stability, and performance across multiple Qualcomm platforms. Applied expertise in C, Makefile, and embedded systems to update board-2.bin binaries, version strings, and firmware assets, addressing device-specific drift and improving provisioning for hardware variants. Coordinated batch updates and validation across SOC families, reducing fragmentation and streamlining future maintenance. Addressed firmware load failures and improved wireless module readiness by aligning versioning and asset management. Demonstrated proficiency in driver development, firmware integration, and hardware support, contributing to improved device reliability and simplified cross-device support.

2 Commits • 1 Features
Sep 1, 2025Consolidated WCN7850 HW2.0 firmware and asset updates in the NVIDIA/linux-firmware repo to enable hardware variant 2.0 support. Implemented new firmware assets for ncm865 configuration and updated board-2.bin to ensure binary compatibility with HW2.0. This work reduces bring-up risk for HW2.0 devices, shortens time-to-market, and improves field reliability by aligning assets, configuration, and binaries. Demonstrated proficiency in kernel driver coordination (ath12k), firmware asset management, and cross-repo collaboration.
