Firmware and system software support for Silicom's industry-leading solutions for OEMs in the NFV/SDN/SD-WAN marketplace. Responsibilities include new platform bring-up and firmware integration, platform porting and support for firmware systems such as Intel's Slimboot (SLB) and Coreboot with FSP. Currently the Coreboot maintainer for Intel Denverton (C3000) codebase.

Does your platform solution need to support the Yocto or Xilinx's Petalinux build environment? I can help!Experienced in configuring and porting solutions on the Yocto build system for ARM processors (including Xilinx Zynq/ZynqMP). Creating meta-layers for platform BSP, kernel, drivers. Creating meta-layers for custom platform images and for user applications. Creating and debugging support for Xilinx-specific meta-layers and recipes to support automatic creation of devicetrees and overlays for the programmable logic side of Xilinx SoCs. ARM platform bring-up support and porting of FSBL and U-boot bootloaders. Support for porting custom meta-layers for fault-tolerant firmware and Yocto image updates, etc.
