I am Shubhendra Pal Singhal, currently third year in Computer Science at NIT Trichy, India. I wish to apply for Google Summer of Code. I looked into the profile of coreboot 4.9 and found out the project idea "Port payloads to ARM, AArch64, MIPS or RISC-V" to be very interesting.
I have worked in the similar field on RISCV architecture at IIT Madras where I helped in porting real time OS eChronos, on RISCV architecture. I will be undergoing a project in Embedded systems offered by USC Los Angeles in solving the SAT Solvers using OS and Digital Logic. Furthermore, I am currently working on a long term project with under Prof. N.Ramasubramanium on the AI chip where we are trying to solve the processing speeds by efficiently reducing the number of writes in the cache for faster access. I am also undergoing Microcontrollers and Microprocessors as my core subject in my current semester and have already undergone OS, Real time Systems in my B.Tech IV semester.
I want to contribute to the open source community in the field of Operating Systems and this can prove to be an excellent platform for gaining experience in field of systems. This opportunity can pave my career, towards applied research in the field of Systems.
While browsing through the link, I saw the mailing list assigned for the project. It would be very useful if you could guide me as to what is expected in the project proposal and how can I serve the open source community in the best possible way. Any guidance would be very useful and I hope to receive a reply soon. Thanking you for your time and consideration.
