Feb 1, 2026

February 2026: Delivered core hardware support, reliability enhancements, and codebase hygiene across two repositories. In renesas/zephyr, added DMIC PSE84 hardware support with PDM-PCM, including a flexible hardware channel index configuration, plus DMA descriptor improvements and tests/samples updates. In zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr, performed codebase cleanup removing dead cy_smif PDL references and eliminated duplicate CMake entries to streamline builds. Result: faster hardware onboarding, improved audio processing capabilities, more robust DMA operations, and greater build stability.
