Hello everyone, I am Subrata Singh and I am focusing on systems and embedded C/C++ development for GSOC 2026. I have completed the “Getting Started Guide”, built the RTEMS 7 development head locally via WSL2 (windows 10) and ran the SPARC ‘hello’ and also the ‘ticker’ test.
(Transparency note as per community guidelines: as I am on windows 10 (CMD/powerhell) I used generative AI as a tutor to help me learn the equivalent Linux/bash commands needed to navigate WSL2 and the build system. Used Gemini and google search which also integrates generative AI.)
I have a Compute Module 5 with a base board (same as raspberry pi 5) and STM32F411 (black pill) physically available on my desk.
Because of this I am interested in these projects-
“Improving the STM32F4 with GPIO, SPI, DMA”
“Add a BSP for the Raspberry Pi 5”
But these are large 350 hour projects, I want to make sure I understand the complexity before attempting a proposal. Need help from mentors/teachers. Could someone point me in the right direction? Or smaller projects that I can work on!
Proof of Work:
