PROFILE

Alice Ziuziakowska

Contributed to lowRISC/opentitan and CTSRD-CHERI/cheribuild by building and documenting Bazel-based build and test workflows, automating nightly FPGA test result uploads to Google Cloud, and enhancing CI/CD reliability. Focused on reproducible environments, the work included upgrading Dockerfiles to Ubuntu 22.04, managing Python dependencies in virtual environments, and standardizing toolchain usage for Verilator compatibility. Leveraged technologies such as Bazel, Python, and GitHub Actions to streamline onboarding, reduce build failures, and enforce license compliance through REUSE checks. These efforts improved artifact traceability, accelerated release cycles, and ensured consistent build and test processes across both local and CI environments.

Month: 2025-08 Key features delivered: - Bazel-based Build and Test Workflow Documentation: consolidated and standardized usage in the docs, replacing ./bazelisk.sh with bazel, using Bazel to invoke OpenOCD, promoting internal toolchain usage with Bazel commands, and recommending bazel run for Verilator tests to ensure compatibility with OpenOCD and GDB. - Environment Setup and Toolchain Guidance: guidelines to install Python dependencies in a virtual environment and to install an older C/C++ toolchain needed for Verilator due to GCC version incompatibilities. Major bugs fixed: - No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on documentation and setup improvements. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improves onboarding, reproducibility in CI, and alignment with internal tooling; reduces friction when setting up builds and tests; enables more reliable debugging workflows with OpenOCD and GDB; supports Verilator testing with Bazel-based commands. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Bazel, OpenOCD, GDB, Verilator, Python virtual environments, toolchain management, documentation discipline.
