 == Status ==

 Looking for funding.

 == Description ==

 This project involves updating the MIPS Malta BSP exists to be a first
 class citizen. There are multiple issues to address and together this
 should be enough for an SoC project.

 The project is a set of tasks to improve the MIPS Malta BSP status. It
 includes at least the following:

 * Ensure BSP works on Qemu

 * Add support to RTEMS Tester for this BSP on Qemu

 * Make Thread Local Storage (TLS) work on MIPS

 * Fix any other bugs

 * Add support for this BSP to RTEMS libbsd

 == Skills and Knowledge ==

 * C programming language.
 * Knowledge of host software and building packages such as simulators.
 * Knowledge of debugging and debuggers.
 * Knowledge of the RTEMS.
 * Requires Unix (Linux or FreeBSD) host.
