GSoC 2026 - Intro & Proof of Work

Programs Google Summer of Code
1

Hi! My name is Ivy and I’m a 2nd year student in computer engineering. I’m interested in contributing to RTEMS through GSoC 2026 :slight_smile: I have some project experience in firmware development but am still learning about RTOSes through self-teaching. Currently, I’m eyeing the project ideas regarding malloc_info() (#41) and the Scrutiny Debugger (#5333).

Here is my proof of work:
Running hello.exe

Thanks, it looks like your git config user.name may not be correct, please check that it matches your name for author attribution. (You can use space characters, it is stored as a string.)

Once you fix that, you can add yourself to tracking/2026 · main · RTEMS / Programs / Google Summer of Code · GitLab.

Then check if any topics are already open for the projects that interest you, and join them if they exist or create a new topic to discuss if needed.

Oh thanks for catching that, I’ve changed my username so it should match my full name in future commits.

Also one more question: the discord invite link under RTEMS Project is coming up as invalid on my end, is there another way I could join the RTEMS discord server? Thank you!

It seems like the invite is still functional. I’m not sure what might be going wrong there.

Could’ve been a browser issue, I tried the link on Firefox and it worked! Sorry about that
