Worked on the zephyrproject-rtos/poky repository to enhance build system reliability and maintainability, focusing on BitBake’s gitsm submodule handling and multi-package build stability. Introduced a centralized Python function to standardize submodule processing, reducing code duplication and improving shallow clone workflows. Addressed robustness by ensuring temporary directories were properly cleaned up during Git operations, preventing disk space issues. Further improvements targeted Groff and Libgcrypt builds, resolving parallel build race conditions and correcting build flag handling through patch management and shell scripting. These changes improved CI throughput, reduced permission errors, and enabled more reliable cross-compilation for embedded Linux development environments.
