Jun 1, 2026In June 2026, delivered the Boot Parameter Recovery System for Samsung/TizenRT to harden the boot flow against invalid binaries. The feature enables immediate boot param (BP) recovery by scanning all binaries (common, app1, resources) and updating the BP set without reboot, reducing boot failures caused by corrupted BP states. It aligns BP to the highest valid version post-OTA, improving reliability after updates and simplifying recovery. The work spans binary_manager, bootloader, OTA flow, and partition management, including end-to-end verification and test instrumentation. Delivered with robust verification signals (CRC checks, version validation) and clear boot logs demonstrating successful multi-partition loading and BP alignment. Business impact includes higher system uptime, faster recovery after faulty images, and safer OTA rollouts. Technologies demonstrated include C, bootloader/firmware management, OTA, binary_manager, CRC validation, and multi-core AMP boot paths.

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.
