Hi Scott Zemerick of NASA IV&V did a review of NASA's quality standard and DO-178B and tried to find a way for open source projects to provide documents meeting the spirit and intent of those standards in a way that is palatable and not soul crushing for an open source project. He presented about this at the Flight Software Workshop last year. The title was "Open-Source RTOS Space Qualification: an RTEMS Case Study"
Presentation: http://flightsoftware.jhuapl.edu/files/2017/Day-3/06-Zemerick-RTOS-Qualification.pptx Video of presentation: https://youtu.be/UYJqABg2Mzk Scott suggested an outline which takes existing content and puts it into a structure that an IV&V person would recognize. It also moves content from the Wiki into Rest which is much better for long-term controlled maintenance and organization. Plus prettier. Scott's outline and info is at https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/people/joel/sw_eng_hb/. For example, the Coding Style, Licensing Requirements, git instructions, project policies, etc. should be in here. Other topics are up for discussion. I took his outline with URLs and converted it to Rest. I left TBDs for the wiki pages to convert and insert. I also left TBDs for things to write. I am going to write Google Code-In tasks for the conversion. The current Rest code is in my rtems-docs git repo git:// git.rtems.org/joel/rtems-docs.git on the sw_eng_hb branch. The current formatted version (as is) is at https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/people/joel/docs-eng/ This is a solid starting point to having some of the documentation required by high integrity processes. We can grow it. Obviously this is a starting point and I am hoping that in the remaining two weeks of GCI we can get the wiki pages converted. At some point in the near future, I hope to submit it for inclusion in the main rtems documentation set. Please pitch in and let's make this happen. Improving our processes and supporting documentation is important. Thanks --joel
