Hi Min, Thank you for getting back to me and for pointing me in the right direction.
I’ll reach out to Lizi and also take a closer look at the amdxna repository as you suggested. I’m quite interested in continuing with upstream work beyond this particular task, especially since I’m entering the final phase of my B.Tech. I was also hoping to ask for your advice on something slightly broader. I’d really like to spend my final year getting more involved in real-world development and contributing consistently to a project rather than limiting myself to coursework. If there are opportunities where I could join as an intern and contribute over a semester or longer, I’d be very interested in exploring them. I’m open to where that opportunity might be — whether it is with AMD or with the team/company you’re currently working with. My main goal is to find an environment where I can contribute meaningfully, learn from experienced developers, and gradually take on more responsibility. Given your experience in this area, I’d really appreciate any advice on how I should approach this or whom I could get in touch with. Thanks again for your time and guidance. I really appreciate it.
