I really thought of things that are currently available in libraries like Procyon AVRlib. Stuff from myself I'd consider candidate for inclusion in such a library contains: . The LCD code from the stdiodemo example. It's been living in my private tree for a couple of years, and when I published it as part of stdiodemo, I cleaned it up a good bit, and generalized it through macros so it ought to be fairly easy adaptable for other hardware as it is now. It has been subsequently improved based on user feedback. . The one-shot timer code from: http://www.sax.de/~joerg/avr-timer/ Eric has been tossing the idea around in private mails before (actually, years ago), so when I saw your DynAlloc stuff, it just came back to mind. My major criteria for inclusion would be: . general usability (i.e. covers at least a good number of AVRs if not all of them) . same license as avr-libc to improve re-usability in closed source projects (that's the major distinction from Procyon AVRlib) . only include contributions where it is ensured that we (i.e. the current or perhaps future avr-libc developers) are really able to actively maintain it with the same dedication as avr-libc is being maintained The stuff that's currently available in the util/ header files would have been stuff for such a library. However, now that we made it part of avr-libc, we cannot simply withdraw it from there, so I wouldn't really want to move it. However, similar contributions should rather be considered for the new extensions library. The structure needs to be discussed. > > I don't mind heading such a project, as I don't think it > > would be too much trouble.
