Hello World Patch

Mon Nov 18 18:38:35 UTC 2019

Hello Shubham Bhagat,

it really depends a lot on what interests you. Independent what you pick
ask on the mailing list and maybe ask people that have worked on the
tickets what the status is.

There are some really small tickets like that stuff:

https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/3300
https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2876

You will find a lot of similar tickets created by David Binderman. From
the look of it they have been created either out of a really thorough
code review or out of the results of some static code analysis tool.
Most of them look valid and would need someone who finds out what went
wrong and how the code should be. Most likely that's not really
interesting work and it would need someone who tries it on real hardware.

There is a ticket that wants to add a driver to the PowerPC qemu:

https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/3353

It seems that no one really noticed it and the patch is most likely
rotting. Would be nice if someone could test it and bring it to the
attention of the mailing list.

If you want to work on a simulator, I think no one has tried the Beagle
Qemu Simulator for quite some time. If you want you can try it and add
some information on how to use it to the user manual:
https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/bsps/bsps-arm.html#beagle

There's also a ticket for adding any simulator during GSoC Projects:
https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2903

The tickets for Raspberry and Beagle are most likely not up to date but
there could be some drivers there too that wait to be written:

https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2899
https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2891

Best regards

Christian
