Following a successful internship in January, TOPST welcomed a new group of students from Gachon University in February 2025. Building upon the foundation laid by the previous group, the Gachon students brought fresh energy and ideas, while seamlessly continuing ongoing development and testing efforts.

Their internship kicked off with a handover session and presentations from the January interns, ensuring smooth knowledge transfer and setting the stage for a productive month ahead.

Refining the Essentials – Testing and Documentation

Just like their predecessors, the February interns worked extensively with the TOPST D3-G, TOPST AI-G, and TOPST VCP-G boards. After rebuilding the software environments and successfully uploading images to each board, they carried out a full series of functionality tests.

More importantly, they took documentation a step further — polishing and refining the content to ensure it’s even more accessible for users. The updated guides now feature clearer explanations, better formatting, and more intuitive instructions that make the getting-started process faster and easier.

Sensor Compatibility and Major Improvements to VCP-G Guide

A significant part of the internship focused on enhancing the TOPST VCP-G Arduino Sensor User Guide. Students identified several previously unsupported or incompatible sensors and worked to make them fully functional through GPIO remapping and configuration updates.

As a result, the entire pinmap was revised, and the guide was comprehensively updated to reflect the newly supported sensor configurations, providing a more complete and reliable reference for developers and makers using the VCP-G board.

Streaming Example with Ubuntu on D3-G

One of the standout achievements from the February internship was the development of a real-time web streaming demo using Ubuntu running on the TOPST D3-G board. This example showcases the board's multimedia capabilities and its potential use in embedded vision and IoT projects requiring web-based interfaces.

Through this task, students gained hands-on experience with multimedia pipelines and embedded Linux development while contributing a valuable use case for the D3-G platform.

The Gachon University interns showed impressive initiative and skill, further enriching the tools and documentation around TOPST’s product lineup. We’re proud to support and collaborate with the next generation of engineers and look forward to future partnerships.
