More detailed glance into the work done can be taken at my blog (<a href="http://www.vipulnayyar.com/"
target="_blank">http://www.vipulnayyar.com/</a>) across different blog posts written over time during the GSOC timeline.<br><br>I've created a separate repository on github<<a href="https://github.com/vipulnayyar/gsoc2013_rtems/" target="_blank">https://github.com/vipulnayyar/gsoc2013_rtems/</a>> ( <a href="https://github.com/vipulnayyar/gsoc2013_rtems/" target="_blank">https://github.com/vipulnayyar/gsoc2013_rtems/ </a>) where all the code & work done by me can be found. I'll briefly take you through the work done & stuff left in the pipeline below :<br><br>Contributed Work<br><br> * Submitted patches to remove legacy code from RTEMS bsps which have been accepted & are currently a part of the official RTEMS repository. These patches were submitted for bsps : csb337, csb336, edb7312, gumstix, gba, rtl22xx, & pc386.<br><br><br> * Since more than about 100 bsps are a part of RTEMS, so guided instructions
& rules for continuing this work has been compiled & is present in my github repository & publicly available on a Google drive document.<br><br><br> * Studied the PIC interrupt model based on the comments written in irq-generic.h & my own observations. Information about PIC Interrupt Model API is added to the current RTEMS documentation.<br><br><br> * For bsps that do not use the generic interrupt framework , rules to initialize & use it are written and present in the code repository. These rules specify how bsp specific code & the generic code works together & handles Interrupt Service Routines before, during and after an interrupt has occurred.<br><br><br> * Based on my observations from model bsp lpc24xx , rules were compiled based on an ongoing discussion in the community on how bsp support files are included & compiled. These rules specify which set of files are a must to
be used by a bsp & in which directory they all must lie. These rules will in future help in maintaining a unified pattern for BSP file organization.<br><br><br> * Since the above rules are very difficult to check manually for each bsp, so a bash script was written merging the functionality of check_submission from rtems-testing. This script is supposed to be a final test for any bsp developer before his code is accepted into RTEMS, so as to check whether that the bsp code submitted follows this unified pattern of file organization & formatting or not.<br><br>To be Done<br><br> * Continue working with the RTEMS community to strengthen the unified way rules and include more checks in it as suggested.<br><br><br> * Increase code coverage for removing legacy support from bsps by converting them to PIC interrupt support model.<br><br><br> * Submit regular patches so as to correct the warnings
flagged by the new check_submission script in rtems-testing.<br><br>I sincerely hope that my work will benefit the RTEMS community as a whole in the long run & avoid incurring any more technical debt so that someone else doesn't have to pay for it. I gladly look forward to working with RTEMS developers in future while continuing the work done in GSOC & maybe more !!<br><br>Regards<br>Vipul Nayyar<br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
