Hello readers!

The GSoC 2025 midterm evaluations are here, and I’d like to take this opportunity to summarize the work I’ve done so far. I’m contributing to the RTEMS Project, focusing on adding and improving peripheral support for the Raspberry Pi 4B BSP. My proposal is centered around four core components: I2C, PWM, DMA, and Mailbox. Out of these, I’ve:

• Merged I2C support
• Merged PWM support
• Got DMA working for memory-to-memory transfers

Let’s take a closer look at each component:
