Worked on hardware stability and firmware-level improvements for ImmortalWRT, focusing on Mediatek-based Sinovoip BPI-R3 boards. Addressed a bug in PWM fan control by tuning device-tree cooling-levels, optimizing fan speed for medium CPU activity and improving thermal management. Used device tree configuration and Linux kernel debugging to adjust cooling parameters from <255 96 0> to <255 40 0>, reducing the risk of thermal throttling under current firmware. All changes were contributed to the coolsnowwolf/immortalwrt repository, with disciplined git patching practices ensuring a clean patch history and easier long-term maintenance for embedded systems deployments.
Month 2024-11: Focused on hardware stability and firmware-level improvements for ImmortalWRT on Mediatek-based boards. No new user-facing features this month; primary work centered on PWM fan control tuning to improve thermal management and reliability for the Sinovoip BPI-R3. Technologies demonstrated include device-tree tuning, Mediatek PWM control, kernel/firmware debugging, and disciplined git patching. Business value: reduced risk of thermal throttling, improved stability for BPI-R3 deployments, and a cleaner patch history for maintenance.
