PROFILE

Perrintong

Perrin Tong developed core firmware and hardware abstraction features for the cmu-argus-2/FSW-mainboard repository, focusing on CubeSat hardware support and reliability. Over five months, Perrin modernized the Hardware Abstraction Layer, unified device driver integration, and streamlined boot and power management workflows using C, Python, and MicroPython. Their work included refactoring sensor and IMU subsystems, enhancing data logging, and improving build tooling for dynamic configuration. By consolidating device initialization and error handling, Perrin reduced system complexity and improved maintainability. The resulting architecture supports multiple hardware versions, enables robust telemetry, and simplifies future development and deployment across evolving CubeSat platforms.
