To write HW GPU drivers by scratch is titanic work ! - easier to stay in linux space without attempts to look to other sides(OS). I had thinked to adapt libdrm for HelenOS (nativelly written for linux).
Sorry for my incompetention about HW programming. My level of programming is not such high as you have... Kernel space programming is very hard, thanks for your job - for HeleOS is exist... I had looked for small and fast OS, with supporting modern compiller (GCC is preferred) & c++ standarts for programming for that, for port to there a light gui library for writting modern looked gui etc... -- the best regards 2018-12-19 14:30 GMT+05:00, Jiri Svoboda <[email protected]>: > > Hi, > > > > > if you are serious about contributing, I suggest reading the code carefully > > and starting with something really simple.
