Re: [riot-devel] Gsoc 2015

[Oleg Hahm]

Dear Kausthub!

 I wanted to know if i can work on my Linux system itself or do I need to
 get a separate system to run it ?

For basic familiarization with RIOT and higher layer implementations, you can
use RIOT's native port [1]. However, for concrete driver development you will
need real embedded hardware.

For BLE hardware we would suggest the Nordic SoC (NRF51822). This cpu is
already supported by RIOT and it allows you to get started with BLE right
away, without having to port RIOT to some new hardware first. But before you
actually look into a specific platform, I would highly recommend to design and
discuss your overall architecture first!

Cheers,
Oleg

[riot-devel] IRC channel #riot-os

[David Reinert]

Hello all, I've been trying to find people on the IRC channel on freenode but 
so far the last few times I've logged on there has not been anyone else on. Is 
there a specific time to be on? I really would like to get a discussion started 
with the veteran RIOT developers so I can start forming a project proposal as 
soon as possible. I am quite eager to get the ball rolling. The channel is 
#riot-os correct?
