Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Griffin is a seasoned embedded Linux engineering leader with 26 years’ experience bringing up boards, porting kernels and bootloaders, and developing device drivers for a wide range of SoCs. As Google Landing Team Tech Lead at Linaro he blends hands-on low-level development with strategic partnership work, previously leading multimedia efforts and upstreaming complex SoC support (including STMicroelectronics’ STiH4xx series) into mainline Linux. His open-source contributions include build-system and metadata work to support NXP i.MX families (i.MX8/6/7) and integration of components like Weston, GStreamer and OP-TEE in meta-freescale. Comfortable across bare-metal, uClinux and full Linux stacks, he also enhanced kernel debugging workflows by extending GDB to be more Linux-aware—an indicator of his focus on developer productivity as well as product enablement. Based in Bristol, he combines deep silicon knowledge with a track record of shipping production-ready platform software and upstreaming it to benefit the wider ecosystem.
