Aditi Hilbert commented on MYNEWT-114:
--------------------------------------
Sanjeewa,
That's great to hear! Your background certainly seems like a good fit for this
project. Take a look at the docs at https://mynewt.apache.org. You will see
which MCUs and chips/BSPs we already support. Keep in mind that it's going
through a growth spurt and so the codebase is changing (growing) rapidly.
We would welcome a port to a new architecture such as Atmel ARM or Microchip
MCU. We recommend the Mynewt OS/BLE stack for chips with 32 KB/256 KB on-chip
RAM/Flash when external flash is available and 32-64 KB/512 KB RAM/Flash
without external flash. The minimum requirement is 32 KB/128 KB RAM/Flash with
external flash available and 32 KB/256 KB with no external flash. Feel free to
take your pick(s) for your proposal with this recommendation in mind. Our
system is for low-power chips, so something like Atmel's 32-bit AVR UC3 or
SMART SAM L21 (with enough memory config) or low power variations of PIC32MX
series would be perfect.
I'll be happy to provide more guidance and clarification as necessary.
thanks,
aditi

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-114
> Project: Mynewt
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Aditi Hilbert
> Assignee: Aditi Hilbert
> Labels: gsoc2016
>
> Mentor: Will San Filippo, Aditi Hilbert
> Difficulty: Medium
> Skills: C programming, familiarity with GNU Tool chain
> Description: Understand the ports already implemented for some MCUs (e.g. ST
> Micro’s STM32, Nordic nRF52) in Apache Mynewt and implement a basic run time
> system for your proposed MCU and the associated BSP (Board Support Package).
> You may also implement a HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) to include a small
> set of peripherals available for the MCU. All code must be tested and
> validated.
