Weekly reports

 * 1) All weekly reports will be sent to the mailing list (as that is our primary support venue outside of live chat) on a single thread (to avoid e-mail thrash).
 * 2) They must be sent on Monday to allow for mentors to respond ahead of Wednesdays IRC meeting where all blockers will be discussed live.
 * 3) They must include the following sections:
 * 4) * Accomplishments
 * 5) * Resolutions to blockers
 * 6) * On-going blockers
 * 7) * Plans for the next week

Replace GBridge
The main goals of this project is as follows:
 * 1) Introduce a Platform Driver that facilitates communication between AM6254 and CC1352 in BeaglePlay over UART.
 * 2) Move SVC and APBridge roles from GBridge into CC1352 firmware.
 * 3) Eliminate GBridge and other components that are no longer necessary.
 * 4) Add a tutorial to the documentation to use the new setup.

Milestones

 * 1) Introductory Video ✅
 * 2) Introductory Blog Post ✅
