Role in this project:Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:11 reviews, 63 commits, 62 PRs in 4 years 1 month
Contributions summary:Hauke primarily contributed to the porting of NimBLE, an open-source Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) stack, to the RIOT operating system. Their work involved implementing the necessary NPL (NimBLE Porting Layer) for RIOT, including modifications to the include and source files to integrate NimBLE with the RIOT build system and its event handling mechanisms. The user addressed issues related to build configurations and critical sections, and adapted the code to work with RIOT's ztimer API for timers. They also added mesh configurations, and implemented the echo request/response procedure in L2CAP.
