GSoC Mentor

Published on 2024-10-03 by Christian Mauderer

Over the years, I mentored a number of Google Summer of Code (GSoC) Projects for RTEMS. Note that I started this page only after a few years of mentoring. So the links and descriptions for older projects are a bit patchy.

• 2024: Suraj Kumar: Add Python initializer to GDB in RTEMS.
  • Suraj worked on pretty printers that can be used in GDB to print RTEMS system structures. He implemented quite some infrastructure for that.

• 2023: Aryan Karawale: Add a flattened device tree-based initialization for Beagle BSP.
  • Aryan planned to improve the FDT support in Beagle Bone Black and was really enthusiastic about it. Unfortunately, due to some conflicting activities, he didn't generate enough material, that I could evaluate. As a mentor, I should have seen that earlier. But I did react to late and therefore I had to let him fail. Clearly I haven't been a good enough mentor in this year.
