Introduction and proof of concept | Abdelrahman Mohammed

Hi, i’m Abdelrahman Mohammed a 2nd year student in Electronics and Communication department, Alexandria university faculty of engineering, Egypt.
I plan to specialize in embedded systems and electronics software in my 4th year and i found that GSoC is a very exceptional opportunity to be missed and found out about RTEMS there and it got my interest, so i applied to RTEMS hoping to boost my knowledge about embedded systems, OS, drivers and more.
i’m currently reading these text books:

  • Operating Systems principles and practice, beta edition, by Thomas Anderson and Michael Dahlin
  • Reusable Firmware Development: A Practical Approach to APIs, HALs and Drivers, by Jacob Beningo

so any insights, advice about these books or the prerequisites for these ideas as they got my interest will be appreciated :

  • Locking Protocols for Multiprocessors
  • Port an OpenGL Implementation to RTEMS
  • Add Filesystem Benchmarking tools to RTEMS

this is the result of hello.exe test

and this is the result after editing it

and git commit info

Thanks, it looks like your git config user.name and git config user.email may not be correct, please double check for correct author attribution.

sorry, forget to change it. i edited it in the topic and here is the correct one
user.name Schrodinger257
user.email bm77371043@gmail.com

I thought you said your name was “Abdelrahman Mohammed” not “Schrodinger257”?

my name is Abdelrahman Mohammed but my github username is Schrodinger257. should i change the name to match github username or the opposite ?

is this right ?

Thanks, you can add yourself to tracking/2026 · main · RTEMS / Programs / Google Summer of Code · GitLab and begin to engage on topics with project ideas that interest you, or start a new topic if there isn’t an open one already.
