PROFILE

Santhosh Charles

Santhosh developed end-to-end DAC and CAN/CAN-FD support for TI MSPM0 G-Series microcontrollers in the nxp-upstream/zephyr repository, focusing on device tree configuration, driver development, and hardware integration. Using C, DTS, and YAML, he implemented device tree nodes, bindings, and drivers to enable DAC and CAN peripherals across multiple MSPM0G boards, including clock source management and runtime configurability. His work included test coverage for DAC APIs and enhancements to board configuration hygiene, reducing onboarding time and improving maintainability. Over four months, Santhosh delivered five features with no reported bugs, demonstrating depth in embedded systems and hardware abstraction engineering.
