Hi BILAL, Nice to know you also are interested on this project, keep in mind there is already a candidate interested on it: https://github.com/apache/nuttx/issues/18548
Please open a discussion Issue there about it. Also if you please to get some other project the list is there: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/GSoC+2026+Ideas+list You can consult which projects already have candidates by looking here: https://github.com/apache/nuttx/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Agsoc2026 There are already two implementations that I listed at the Apache page that could be analyzed (a for Arduino and other for ESP32).
