[PATCH] Initial Commit

Sat Feb 15 06:07:23 UTC 2020

Hi,

First of all, thank you for guiding me and please consider my apologies for the use of embedded HTML and excerpts copied from the Trac Wiki. A mistake like this will surely be avoided  in the future .

Also, Thanks for sharing the link to wiki of on how to get started with documentation. I will try to examine and initiate the patches that can help make the things all the more better.

Coming to the project BSP Buildset for EPICS, I will try to learn more of EPICS and its utility and how it has to be used with RTEMS5. Will raise with you whatever doubts I will have after it.

Also hoping that @joel at rtems.org will be guiding me  more on the other two tickets. So that it becomes easier for me to decide on the project where I can contribute in the best possible manner.

PS: Being a beginner and quite new to communication in mailing lists, it is very much possible that I might commit another such mistake. Therefore it is a humble request to share some good starters on the best methods to communicate on the mailing list.

Thanks
Mritunjay

Hi Mritunjay,

We always welcome documentation patches. I made initial steps to describe how to get started with that, athttps://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.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the response!  Wishing my best that the organisation is selected for GSoC 2020 but whatever the results may be, I, as a beginner, find it a great opportunity to jump into the world of Open Source and Community Bonding. Going through the list of SoC projects available on https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/OpenProjects, I have found 3 projects matching very closely to my skills and interests. They are as follows:

  1.
Ticket
#3333<https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/3333>       Automate Conversion of Newlib Markup to Sphinx<https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/3333>    Joel Sherrill, Chris Johns
  2.
 Ticket
#2966<https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2966>      POSIX Compliance<https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2966>   Joel Sherrill
  3.
#3855<https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/3855>      BSP Buildset for EPICS<https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/3855>     Gedare Bloom

Would love to connect with the mentors of the above-mentioned projects to know more about them, the complexities involved, and the resources that can be helpful for me to begin with the project which interests me the most. Also while going through this Hello World Tests and setting up rtems on my host, I had to face many issues, which I am very thankful for the archived mailing lists and documentation of RTEMS that helped me to resolve (most of them). However, I feel that after learning a lot of new things while going through this process, I would like to contribute my learning in the documentation and especially in the 'Quick Start Documentation' (https://docs.rtems.org/branches/master/user/start/index.html) which I feel has some scope for improvements especially with the error that comes after 'make' because the host has some dependencies (like pax) missing. Please guide me on how to proceed with the above-stated things.

Thanks
Mritunjay

Great thanks. Now please begin to work toward identifying what kind of projects you might be interested in. Hopefully we will find out next week about our status in GSoC 2020.

Hi,

This is Mritunjay Kumar Sharma, a second-year Undergrad in Computer Science Engineering, and a GSOC 2020 aspirant for RTEMS.  Being a beginner, Mritunjay sees this as a great opportunity to collaborate and learn with the community and some really good mentors.

Please find attached the snap of the successful modification of Hello World Test to complete the task.

The PATCH has already been sent earlier as can be seen in the thread.
