Month: 2025-12 Concise monthly summary for analogdevicesinc/no-OS focusing on delivered features, fixes, and impact. Key features delivered: - SPI communication improvements: Implemented software slave select for AD5592R SPI to enable operation on the max32666 FTHR board; added a delay mechanism in the temperature data acquisition path based on ADC buffering to match track timing requirements. - Generic IIO support for AD5592r and AD5593r: Introduced generic IIO support including attributes and functionalities for ADC, DAC, and GPIO channels to enhance data handling and device control within the no-OS framework. Major bugs fixed: - Addressed timing and data integrity risks in SPI transactions by adding software slave select and buffering-aware delays, reducing data drift and synchronization issues during temperature reads. - Stability improvements associated with IIO integration and device control pathways, promoting more reliable data access and configuration. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Expanded device support and reliability for AD5592r/AD5593r within the no-OS ecosystem, enabling smoother hardware integration, improved data accuracy, and faster feature delivery to customers. - Demonstrated end-to-end capabilities from low-level SPI protocol handling to high-level device control via IIO, reinforcing the product’s hardware abstraction quality and ease of use. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Embedded C driver development, SPI protocol handling, and software slave select implementation - ADC/DAC/GPIO channel management and buffering considerations - IIO framework integration and device attribute design - No-OS architecture, hardware-software integration, code correctness and maintainability Top achievements (business value focused): - AD5592R SPI usability on target hardware achieved via software slave select (commit 670cbc4a0d065f2e4dca35a90565416b83023028) - Temperature data acquisition timing stabilized with buffering-aware delays (commit 670cbc4a0d065f2e4dca35a90565416b83023028) - Broadened device support with generic IIO for AD5592R/AD5593R (commit 1abf4369700cdec1040b0d39d00b724e80763fb2)
