Great! I have written two applications I will submit next week. Here are both abstracts: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Network support ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ During Summer of Code 2008 I will (when I am accepted) implement networking support for GRUB 2. This will make it possible to netboot from GRUB 2. In order to make this possible I will have to implement a TCP/IP stack and some GRUB commands. The following features will be implemented as part of this project: - Ethernet - IPv4 - UDP - DHCP - TFTP - ifconfig - Multiplatform and easy to port - Debuggable in grub-emu using TUN/TAP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ USB Support ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ During Summer of Code 2008 I will (when I am accepted) implement USB support for GRUB 2. After finishing this project, GRUB 2 will support (at least) one host controller, mass storage devices and USB keyboards. - Generic USB interfaces - Host controller driver (OHCI, UHCI or EHCI) - USB Mass-storage support - HID support for USB keyboards -- Marco _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
