Contributed to embedded firmware development with focus on performance and real-time systems. •Developed firmware for nRF5340dk, ArtyZ7 200, and Efinity Ti375C529 platforms •Developed and benchmarked multi-core architectures (ARM Cortex-M4, RISC-V, VexRISCv RV32IM) •Analysed performance of VexRISCv processor and BLE implementations •Designed and implemented SPI communication protocols and personalized protocol •Implemented real-time applications on Zephyr •Implemented comprehensive unit testing using Unity

Contributed to embedded firmware for precision measurement instruments (Rheometer). •Developed and debugged modular firmware components with defined interfaces for STM32 MCU •Contributed to exception handling and error management strategies, improving system reliability •Integrated RPC systems for inter-module communication •Configured CMake for cross-platform builds, enabling platform-independent development •Conducted integration testing using Python scripts, and unit testing with GMock & GTest

Embedded Software Development :- ->Developed an Emulator using STM32 dual-core microcontroller with the support of STM32Cube IDE. ->Implemented SPI DMA protocols for seamless communication between the emulator and the main MCU. ->Integrated essential features, including fail-safe mechanisms, CRC checks, and sensor initiation, to ensure reliable and robust operation of the emulator. ->Utilized FreeRTOS to effectively synchronize communication and optimize performance between the dual cores.

- Reading IMU Sensor data by using STM32 MCU with SPI protocol - Worked with Oscilloscope to analyse the Bus lines - Embedded C is used to develop the software - Git is used for source code management
