I am currently a mentee in the Linux Foundation Mentorship Program, working with Shuah Khan. With a professional background in embedded systems and a strong personal interest in audio that extends to my own projects, the ASoC subsystem seems like the perfect place to blend these two passions. I'm eager to apply my experience with hardware bring-up and Device Trees by becoming an active contributor. To get familiar with the subsystem, I have: - Studied the ASoC framework (the Codec/Platform/Machine driver model). - Learned about the core audio interfaces (I2S, SAI, PCM, PDM, TDM etc.). - Analyzed existing DT sound card implementations to understand simple-audio-card in practice. As I look to deepen my involvement, I am writing to seek advice on where I can best apply my efforts. I'm particularly interested in finding a substantive task where my skills would be a good fit, such as: - Enabling audio support for a new board using Device Trees. - Assisting with bug fixes or small feature additions in the ASoC C drivers. - Tackling items from the TODO list where my DT experience would be applicable. - Helping with other driver enhancements or cleanups within the ASoC framework. Any guidance on finding a suitable project would be highly appreciated! Thank you for your time and for your work on the kernel. Best regards, Jihed CHAIBI
