BSP for Sterallis Launchpad LM4F120

[saket sinha]

Dear Sir,

         Thank you for the response.
>>Great! Please go through our GSoC Getting Started [1], add yourself to
>>the table of student proposals [2], and start your official proposal
>>application in Melange [3].
        I am doing that only. All this wont take much time. The important
part is to discuss with you whether my project is feasible or not.

>>What is the processor architecture and CPU family?
ARM® Cortex™-M4 microcontroller from Texas Instruments.

>>Is the architecture and CPU already supported in RTEMS?
I have seen on RTEMS Wiki that BSP for Steraliis ARM® Cortex™-M3 has been
implemented but the new family M4 has not been .

>> If not, what is the effort need to port the architecture/CPU?
   This is what I need to discuss.

>>Does gcc support it?
Yes.

>>Is there a simulator that can be used to develop and test your code?
QEMU

>>Are there similar BSPs already that exist in RTEMS for you to derive
>>your BSP from?
Yes sir BSP with RTEMS support for Sterallis ARM Cortex M3 family has
already been implemented and is avilable on RTEMS wiki.

>>What peripherals and devices are available on the board for which
>>you will write drivers?
GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C etc.

Kindly guide me for the same.

Regards,
Saket Sinha
