Mynewt
Mynewt is a real-time operating system for constrained embedded systems like
wearables, lightbulbs, locks and doorbells. It works on a variety of 32-bit
MCUs (microcontrollers), including ARM Cortex-M and MIPS architectures.
Mynewt has been incubating since 2015-10-20.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. Do a first Apache release capable of producing a downloadable RTOS image
with support for multiple peripherals and network connectivity. Do subsequent
releases to indicate thorough understanding, repeatability, and maturity of
process.
2. Continue to develop and execute policies that enable project contributors to
achieve self-governance
3. Expand community - attract new project contributors and users, grow
committer base
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of?
None
How has the community developed since the last report?
1. Mailing list activity since last report in January:
@dev 500+ messages exchanged, 26 new subscribers (46 total)
@commits 400+ messages, 3 new committers (19 total)
2. Repo is being cloned and looked at by external parties including 5+
device/chip vendors, student community, and researchers.
3. Active participation on the @dev mailing list covered a range of topics
including feature implementation approaches (e.g. Hardware Abstraction Layer,
Newt build tool options, logs and stats amongst several others), code size
concerns and mitigations of those concerns, coding practices, documentation
fixes and enhancements. Feedback from beta testers received and discussed.
How has the project developed since the last report?
1. Releases: Two releases so far - first on 22nd Feb, next on 18th March
