Over a two-month period, contributed to the waterloo-rocketry/cansw_processor_canards repository by developing and refining a Health Check and Watchdog Monitoring System for embedded firmware. Focused on reliability and observability, the work included implementing robust watchdog timers, task and current monitoring, and CAN-based error reporting using C and CMake. Enhanced system safety through fail-fast health checks, improved FreeRTOS task signatures, and strengthened watchdog initialization. Addressed build stability by resolving build errors, updating submodules, and enforcing code formatting standards. Comprehensive unit testing and test infrastructure improvements ensured timely fault detection, reduced maintenance overhead, and enabled smoother continuous integration and deployment processes.
