GSoC 2026: Introduction and Proof of Work – Kirubakaran S

[Kirubakaran]

Hello RTEMS Community,

I have completed the “Prove You Can Work On RTEMS” task from the GSoC Getting Started guide.

I built the RTEMS 7 toolchain using RSB and manually built the SPARC ERC32 BSP using waf. After that, I modified the hello sample to include an additional print statement, rebuilt the BSP, and ran the updated executable using sparc-rtems7-sis.

The modified output is attached as a screenshot, and I have also attached the patch generated using git format-patch as a screenshot.

Please let me know if everything looks correct or if I should make any improvements.

Thank you,
Kirubakaran S

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.

Hello @gedare Thank you for pointing that out.

I have corrected my git config user.name to use my full real name and I have updated the tracking page accordingly. Please let me know if everything looks correct now.
