   Hello all,
   
   the first week of GSoC coding period is about to end and I´d like to refer about the progress we made during the first week and during pre coding period.
   
   During pre GSoC period I extended pysimCoder CAN support for NuttX with SocketCAN support so pysimCoder now supports both characteristic device dev/can0 and socketcan. This was [integrated into pysimCoder mainline last week](https://github.com/robertobucher/pysimCoder/pull/6). This week was mainly about incremental encoder and DC motor control, which has been done on STM32 Nucleo F446RE and presented to the mentors during our weekly meeting. DC motor control required support for GPIO driver for Nucleo F446RE which was implemented to NuttX in [PR 3880 ](https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/pull/3880). This implementation also required [new pysimCoder block for relational operation](https://github.com/robertobucher/pysimCoder/commit/5c7c49188018f9292e2e005f2c62f3ab471049e3).
   
   The main platform of the project is iMXRT 1060 MCU so the goal is also to get the DC motor control running there, but I am currently having some troubles with encoder driver for imxrt. I already did some fixes to xbar driver (added missing clock), but still some work is to be done in encoder driver (as it stands now, the driver registers the device but do not update the position value).
   
   Yesterday I created a wiki page about the project on pysimCoder git. We agreed during the meeting that the goal would be to store links to commits to pysimCoder and NuttX there as well as the content of our meetings. [The page can be found here](https://github.com/robertobucher/pysimCoder/wiki/GSoC-2021:-pysimCoder-integration-with-NuttX).
