Re: GSoC 2026 Proposal - Hardware in the loop CI

Thanks, John! That exact transition from pure theory to physical reliability is what drew me to the project. 

I'm finalizing my 12-week timeline draft  to share with the group!

It's not glamorous to most DSP academics, but HITL CI is vital and why things like SpaceX could scale.

Hi Cyrille, 

I'm Joseph, an ECE student and the Chair of the IEEE Signal Processing Society at my college. I'm putting together a GSoC proposal for the "Hardware in the loop CI" project and wanted to quickly say hello. 

I have a strong background in bridging DSP theory with physical hardware. I recently placed 7th globally in the ICASSP 2026 ALS challenge by building domain-driven acoustic biomarker pipelines, and I regularly build hardware projects (like ESP32 navigation systems using Kalman filtering for sensor fusion). I'd love to help bring GNU Radio's CI tests out of software only simulation and onto the physical CorteXlab hardware. 

I am drafting my 12-week timeline right now. Is there a specific format you prefer for the test scenarios, or a good place to drop a link to my draft for a quick sanity check before Tuesday's deadline?
