Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYangbo Lu is a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years' experience specializing in embedded systems, board bring-up, and low-level networking software for multicore ARM and PowerPC platforms. At NXP he has owned software IP for SD/eMMC and IEEE 1588/802.1AS, authored and maintained Ethernet and timing drivers across eTSEC/DPAA families, and led OpenWrt/LEDE support for Layerscape processors. His open-source contributions to projects like OpenWrt, ImmortalWrt, Zephyr and LEDE show deep expertise in device trees, U-Boot, kernel backports and PHY timing tweaks—work that directly enables production hardware support. He pairs customer-facing support and SDK development with upstream community maintenance, routinely backporting fixes and integrating board-specific changes. Based in Beijing with a Master’s from Peking University, he brings a pragmatic hardware-software mindset and a track record of making complex SoC features reliably usable in embedded Linux ecosystems.
