GSoC 2026: Introduction and PoW: Vedanth

[AVVedanth]

Hi everyone ,

I am Vedanth a third year computer science engineering student studying at PES University.

During my internship I worked extensively with ESP-IDF, deployed Mosquitto MQTT broker on AWS EC2, and built an IoT pipeline routing commands from a cloud dashboard to ESP32 edge devices over MQTT and to downstream hardware via UART.

I have completed the getting started guide , built SPARC/LEON3 running hello.exe on QEMU(leon3_generic). Please find the attached screenshot below.

I am interested in adding coreMQTT support to rtems-net-services after observing the NTP/TTCP pattern. Seeing how coreMQTT transport interface can easily work with standard RTEMS POSIX socket api. Would this be considered as a viable project for GSoC 2026 and who would the right mentor be to discuss the scope with?

Thanks,
Vedanth

Thanks, please confirm that “A V Vedanth” is the proper name for author attribution as shown in your patch / git config user.name setting.

You can search for topics or open a new topic to discuss your project interest. Improvements to the rtems-net-services are generally of interest and should be viable.

Hello ,

Yes “A V Vedanth” is proper name for author attribution.

Thankyou for the confirmation I will setup a separate topic to discuss interests in integrating coreMQTT rtems-net-services.
