· Have a deep understanding of embedded system components and bus protocols (e.g., AMBA), and its boot up sequences.
· Familiar with JTAG-based debuggers to halt and resume processors, set breakpoints, and debug at both the transaction and process levels.
· Analyze and debug complex applications involving multiple threads, Memory Management Units (MMUs), interrupts, and inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms.
· Toolchain Proficiency: Utilize GCC toolchains and GDB for effective development and debugging of embedded software.
· Driver Debugging: Investigate and resolve issues related to low-speed IO drivers (e.g. UART, GPIO, SPI, I2C), ensuring proper function within the system.
· Familiar with one of the following High-speed IO protocols and has experience to bring-up and debug such interface and their drivers: Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe, CPHY, MPHY
· Device Tree and Bootloaders: Work with device trees, U-Boot, and operating systems to manage hardware configurations and ensure proper system initialization.
· Experience w/ secure boot process, and its bring-up and debug process.
· Coding and Development: Write, review, and maintain high-quality C/C++ code, ensuring adherence to best practices in embedded software development.
