Hello Norman and all!

Always good to read those Roadmaps.

2024 was both a big year for my Genode projects but also kind of 
failure. I did a quite succesful demo scenario on i.MX8, using every 
little cpu cycle that was available.

I also continued with my RockChip port .. enabled it to start on 
RK3399 up to displaying graphics on Pinebook Pro.

The projects that I failed with:
Back in 2023 I had a very ambigous plan for a cross over system based 
on Genode framework AND RISC OS. This wasn't realised in 2023 and not 
in 2024 either.

Generic EHCI driver. This was the last thing I did start on. I somehow 
lost motivation,, I started with initing EHCI and could see that I got 
interrupts.

As a person that isn't a Sculpt user, most things passed by. But I 
appreciate all low level successes.

EHCI. I can't get my stupid head around DDE drivers, and I really want 
a generic EHCI driver as it enables a lot. XHCI is also possible.

I want to realise my big plan from 2023. A very difficult project but 
is also quite rewarding. In my demo scenario in 2024 I picked i.MX8 
because it was a SoC that both RISC OS and Genode supported ( I did a 
very quick and dirty bringup of RISC OS for MNT Reform some year/s 
ago). For the grand project I would like to find a way to do 
abstraction against Genode. Streamlining RISC OS HAL to Genode. Not 
easy but also not impossible. I think that the platform will be RK3588 
as this is a very powerfull Soc and also to be available with MNT 
Reform. This also presents some new things for Genode.. The SoC has 
cores numbered 0 to 3 for the boot cpu .. but if you want to use the 
big cpu as your main one the current base-hw will not work. I would be 
happy to rethink how this should be done in Genode.

My Genode inititaives ( demo and Rockchip ) are on GitHub:

I wish you all a great 2025!
