PROFILE

Naichenzhao

Contributed to the ucb-bar/sp24-Baremetal-IDE repository by developing and optimizing bare-metal features for RISC-V platforms, focusing on hardware configuration, memory management, and multi-platform build integration. Leveraged C, CMake, and linker scripting to integrate chip configuration libraries, optimize DRAM memory layouts, and support both dsp24 and bearly24 targets. Consolidated platform initialization, improved system clock management, and established UART and peripheral support to enhance boot stability. Introduced a DMA testing framework and convolution test scaffolding to validate hardware memory transfers. Emphasized code hygiene through build system cleanup and project restructuring, resulting in more reliable builds and streamlined future development cycles.

February 2025 performance summary for ucb-bar/sp24-Baremetal-IDE. Key platform bring-up for bearly24/dsp24 was achieved via consolidated initialization and system clock optimization (PLL adjustments) with UART/peripheral prep, improving boot stability and performance. Build system cleanup and project restructuring reduced maintenance noise and streamlined future changes. DMA testing framework and convolution test scaffolding were established to validate memory transfer hardware and set groundwork for performance benchmarks. Stabilization and hygiene efforts (reverting unintended main.c changes, removing PLL code from main, reordering base addresses, and cleaning up todos) contributed to more reliable builds and clearer code paths. Combined, these work items shorten iteration cycles, improve reliability, and provide a solid foundation for subsequent performance and feature work.
