Knut Eldhuset

Over a three-month period, this developer enhanced power management capabilities in the nrfconnect/sdk-nrf and NordicBuilder/sdk-nrf repositories, focusing on embedded systems using C and Zephyr RTOS. They integrated the new MPSL Power Management API, refactored utilities to separate event registration from latency handling, and improved reliability by preventing double initialization and enabling safer shutdowns with bounded timeouts. Their work included updating unit tests to reflect API changes and shifting scheduling logic to use absolute time ticks, simplifying time calculations. By removing obsolete testing infrastructure, they reduced maintenance overhead and improved the predictability and maintainability of power management workflows.

January 2025 monthly work summary focusing on key business value and technical achievements. Delivered improvements to the MPSL Power Management subsystem in nrfconnect/sdk-nrf: refactored initialization API to prevent re-initialization, added a new uninitialization API, and enhanced teardown by waiting for scheduled work queue items with a timeout to avoid blocking. Unit tests updated to cover API changes. Overall impact: increased reliability, reduced risk of double initialization and deadlocks, safer shutdown in multi-threaded power-management flows, and improved maintainability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C, embedded systems, MPSL, unit testing, code refactoring, and commit-driven development.

December 2024 – NordicBuilder/sdk-nrf: Delivered Power Management API Integration and Latency Handling Enhancement. Refactored PM utilities to use the new MPSL PM API, separating event registration from latency-request handling to ensure latency requests are honored correctly based on the low-latency state. This improves power management reliability and predictability in deployments, with a focus on energy efficiency and device responsiveness. Major bugs fixed: none reported for this repository this month. Technologies demonstrated: API integration, refactoring, low-level driver coordination, and power-management lifecycle awareness.
