Arm Mbed OS is a platform operating system designed for the internet of things
Role in this project:Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:520 commits, 210 PRs, 4 pushes in 4 years 3 months
Contributions summary:Brian primarily contributed to the Arm Mbed OS project by implementing and refactoring power management features. This involved adding support for sleep and deep sleep modes for specific LPC microcontrollers, including the LPC11U68, and fixing related compilation issues. Their work also included the modification of core system files, adding new test cases for features like WFI (wait for interrupt) instruction, and other minor code updates. The user also added some utility functions to make the test more robust.
