Over a three-month period, contributed to the DragonBluep/openwrt repository by delivering targeted improvements in WiFi, PCIe, and PHY initialization for embedded Linux systems. Addressed WiFi 6E client discovery issues by correcting center frequency handling and updating HE operation settings, ensuring reliable 6GHz AP visibility and backward compatibility. Enhanced PCIe subsystem stability on EN7581 hardware by decoupling reset logic and enabling x2 link mode, using C and device tree scripting for robust driver development. Resolved RTL8261N PHY cold boot failures by refining GPIO timing, improving USXGMII link establishment. Work demonstrated expertise in firmware development, hardware interfacing, and network configuration.
March 2026 (DragonBluep/openwrt) focused on reliability and platform stability for RTL8261N-based boards. Key accomplishment: fixed boot failure on cold boot by extending the PHY reset timing to 200ms, enabling proper USXGMII link establishment across supported hardware. Delivered a robust fix with code changes and a validated commit, reducing field boot failures and accelerating device bring-up. Technologies demonstrated include embedded Linux, Realtek PHY initialization, GPIO timing control, and PR-based collaboration with sign-off. Business value includes lower support costs, faster deployments of updated images, and stronger OpenWrt support for 10G PHY devices.
