Hi everyone,
I’m Aniket Giri, and I’m interested in contributing to RTEMS through Google Summer of Code 2026. I’m particularly interested in the “Add RTEMS Framework to PlatformIO” project (Issue #78).
Environment Setup
I’ve set up the RTEMS development environment on my Fedora system:
- Built the SPARC toolchain using RSB (GCC 15.2.0, GDB 16.2, binutils 2.45.1)
- Configured and built the
sparc/erc32BSP from the RTEMS 7 development head - Tested using the SIS (SPARC Instruction Simulator)
Proof of Work
I modified
testsuites/samples/hello/init.c to include a custom print statement. Here is the simulator output:

About the PlatformIO Project
I’ve been researching PlatformIO’s framework integration architecture and RTEMS’s build system. My initial understanding is that the key integration point would be leveraging RTEMS’s pkg-config .pc files to dynamically extract compiler and linker flags for each BSP, avoiding any hardcoded configurations. I plan to prototype a minimal PlatformIO custom platform targeting the SPARC architecture as a starting point.
I’d appreciate any feedback or guidance from the mentors. Looking forward to contributing to RTEMS!
Best regards, Aniket Giri
