GSoC 2026: Introduction and Proof of Work - Isaac

Hello RTEMS Community,

My name is Isaac Ng, a 1st year systems design engineering student at the University of Waterloo. I’m currently doing a full stack engineering internship with a startup, and I’m interested in expanding my skillset to embedded systems.

I have posted another separate thread about my proposal, but I’m not able to delete it and merge the two, so I am linking it here: Looking for proposal feedback: "Adding support for the asp programming langauge"

That’s fine, we prefer to have a separate thread to discuss the open projects. It is quite late in the process to get started, but you are welcome to push and submit a proposal. Add yourself to tracking/2026 · main · RTEMS / Programs / Google Summer of Code · GitLab.
