Nov 1, 2024In November 2024, delivered a critical bug fix for Samsung/TizenRT to address input failure during Secure TASH password entry caused by an incorrect power management initialization order. The fix reorders initialization so tash_pm_open_driver() executes before tash_check_security(), ensuring the PM driver is initialized prior to security checks and preventing the board from sleeping during TASH password input. Commit: 365e87d3bdad6396ea401e558f0c1ec37b5cc1c6. Business impact: improved reliability and usability of Secure TASH, reduced user-visible errors during password entry, and preserved system security during power transitions. Key technologies: C, embedded power management, TASH shell, secure TASH flows, and version control practices were effectively applied to diagnose and fix a low-level init-order bug in an embedded OS.
