What is opinion of RTEMS development coordinators,
do you suggest to open that task for GSoC application
and student proposal evaluation?
If yes, then who is willing to be menthor/reviewer?
I don't have time to mentor this year.
I expect to be co-menthor or consultant. There are
more other people at our department who already
finished thesis or project related to given HW, so there
is knowledge base for work. There is high chance that
student would continue on project because he consider
to choose it as diploma thesis and so final state should
be very well documented and integrated at the end.
As for the GSoC period, I expect next goals
- basic test and toolchain configuration
non-multilib version for Cortex-R4 big-endian should
not be problem for GCC
- documented patch for addition of the variant into multilib
- checking which conditional blocks in RTEMS ARM SCORE
sources best match architecture and providing patch
to select appropriate SCORE support.
- extensions of SCORE (task switch and interrupts) to support
the architecture
- implementation of serial port driver - ideally interrupt driven
Then other peripheral support can be implemented during diploma
thesis period, including basic CAN and FlexRay support. Porting
of our Matlab/Simuling Embedded Coder target base environment
to RTEMS POSIX or RTEMS specific API should be reachable as well.
I only looked briefly at the Cortex-R4, but there is one architecture manual
for the A and R variants, so I expect that some code of the Cortex-A9 BSPs can
be re-used. Has the processor a MMU or only a MPU?
In case the chip has a network interface, then I think it would be enough for a
GSoC project.
