PROFILE

Rick Overhorst

Developed and upstreamed STM32U375 System on Chip support for the Zephyr real-time operating system, expanding hardware compatibility within the zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr repository. The work centered on authoring Device Tree Source Include (DTSI) files in YAML and C to define memory regions and compatible properties, enabling immediate integration of the STM32U375 MCU into Zephyr-based projects. This contribution required close collaboration with maintainers and adherence to upstream patch submission standards, including signed-off commits. The effort demonstrated skills in embedded systems, configuration management, and hardware integration, ultimately accelerating time-to-market for projects targeting the STM32U375 platform without introducing new bug fixes.
