Embedded systems | Kernel Development |Yocto Project| Baremetal programming | RTOS | 5G gNB testing
Hi, I'm DARSHAN KHARBIKAR.
- I work on testing and development of 5G Base Station
- I am a proud owner of STM32F411(ARM CORTEX M4), ESP32 DevKit V1(XTENSA L6), and Raspberry Pi 4B(ARM CORTEX A-72) building baremetal, HAL, RTOS and embedded Linux systems.
- Focus: platform bring-up, baremetal programming, HAL, kernel modules, and secure firmware.
- Platform bring-up and configuration of Xilinx ZCU102 and Raspberry Pi.
- Development, integration, and testing of 5G gNB components (CN, CU/DU, RU – Benetel and VVDN).
- Kernel-level work: driver integration, module debugging, and real-time patching.
- Configuration and validation of UE (CPEs, IP cameras, mobile devices).
- Ensured gNB compliance with ITSAR security standards.
- Implemented secure log export (SSL/TCP) and configured Baseboard Management Controller(BMC) for remote monitoring.
- Tested and configured SMO for gNB telemetry and fault management.
- Authored detailed technical documentation across development and test phases.
