[GSoC 2026] TinyGL support on NuttX

[bilalobe]

Description

Hi,

I’m interested in the TinyGL support on NuttX project for GSoC 2026, and I wanted to open a discussion before locking proposal scope.

My background is mainly systems work in Rust/C++, Linux, and constrained-system software. I’m currently working on TrackOne, a verifiable telemetry ledger for timestamped sensing and actuation events in constrained environments.

For this project, I’d rather keep the first goal practical than over-scope it. My current plan would be:

• get TinyGL building in NuttX
• hook it into the relevant graphics/display path
• validate rendering on one reproducible target
• add a small demo
• document setup, build steps, and known limitations

A few questions:

• Is there a preferred board or simulator for this project?
• Should the proposal focus mainly on a working TinyGL port, or is a higher-level demo stack expected too?
• Are there existing graphics paths in NuttX that should be the main starting point?

My default approach would be to prioritize bring-up and validation first, then demo/documentation once the port is stable.

Thanks.

Verification
