Rowan Kerwin developed foundational hardware interfaces and timing infrastructure for the scsd-cdh/OBC repository, focusing on MSP430 microcontrollers. He engineered a new GPIO driver in C, enabling flexible pin configuration, peripheral function mapping, output state control, and interrupt management to support robust hardware interaction. Additionally, Rowan implemented backplane timer and real-time clock initialization, establishing core timer logic and RTC configurations while documenting the backplane’s role and state machine. His work in driver development and embedded systems provided a reliable base for hardware-software integration, reducing future integration risk and accelerating subsequent feature development within the embedded firmware environment.

November 2024 performance summary for scsd-cdh/OBC: Delivered foundational MSP430 hardware interfaces and timing infrastructure, enabling reliable hardware interaction and time-based processing across MSP430 devices. Key achievements include a new GPIO driver with pin configuration, peripheral function mapping, output state control, and interrupt management; and foundational backplane timer/RTC initialization with app setup, timer logic, RTC configurations, and README documentation of the backplane role and state machine. These efforts reduce integration risk, accelerate future feature work, and establish a solid base for hardware-software collaboration.
