- Optimize real-time control loops.
- Implement UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and RF-based communication stacks.
- Develop bootloaders and firmware update mechanisms.
- Improve system stability and fault recovery logic.
5. Communication Protocol Architecture
- Design reliable communication between high-level processors (e.g., Raspberry Pi-class systems) and embedded controllers.
- Implement structured packet-based communication with CRC, acknowledgments, retry logic.
- Optimize wireless RF performance for latency and reliability.
- Design fail-safe and watchdog-based recovery mechanisms.
6. Testing, Validation & Documentation
- Create calibration procedures and validation test plans.
- Perform stress testing and endurance validation.
- Maintain structured documentation (hardware revision logs, firmware versioning, test reports).
- Define system-level debugging and logging strategies.
