[PATCH] Initial Commit

Sat Feb 15 04:16:29 UTC 2020

Hi Mritunjay,

We always welcome documentation patches. I made initial steps to describe
how to get started with that, at
https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/GSoD/GettingStarted -- Improving the
directions for how to build and patch the docs would also be welcome :)

I'm the mentor for BSP Buildset for EPICS. This project would involve
working with the existing tools for building another project, EPICS, that
makes use of RTEMS. The challenge is that, right now, the use of RTEMS5
with EPICS is challenging--I think there are only a few people doing it.
Getting this stack to work on a Qemu-simulated target is high value for the
community. It is not entirely clear how much code would be required, versus
just figuring out the right set of configurations/commands to make it work.
But once you get it to work, creating a BSP Buildset for it would be a nice
exercise to stress the RTEMS Source Builder (RSB) support for buildsets.

I can't speak to the status of the other two projects you identified, POSIX
Compliance and Conversion of Newlib Markup to Sphinx. Maybe Joel knows more.

PS: It is typical to avoid embedding much HTML in your emails. Especially
we don't need to see excerpts copied out of our Trac Wiki, you can just
refer to Ticket #s and Names. Plain text/limited HTML is always preferred
for simple, direct communication.
