I was suggesting it be moved to hw/drivers/nimble.
It’s similar to how other OSes do it, they tend to have the hw drivers
in the drivers directory, even for the networking stack components. I
don’t feel strongly about it, but thought, why shouldn’t we keep to
convention.
I definitely think the HW drivers should use our device framework,
unless there is a compelling reason not to. It will allow there to be a
central registry of drivers, and if the BT stack needs to be
suspended/resumed, that’s a logical place to hook it in?

Just a nit; I need to digest this a bit more but will
net/nimble/drivers be moved to drivers/nimble or hw/drivers/nimble?
I am also not sure why you would move what is in there into the
drivers directory and make it conform to the standard drivers as I am
not sure what that would mean for the BLE stack but we could do it if
folks thought it a good idea.

Hey,
I wanted to get this kicked off, so we can make the changes fairly
quickly after the sterly_refactor merge next week (while still giving
enough time for discussion.)
Please take this as a _rough_ first cut proposal. I want people to
bikeshed this discussion, mainly because I only want to do this
re-org once in the foreseeable future :-)
Proposed changes (on top of the sterly_refactor and develop branch.)
- IP and Wi-Fi support is moved from libs (e.g.
libs/inet_def_service, libs/wifi_mgmt) and placed in the net/
directory.
- Any IP stack is moved into net/ip
- net/nimble/drivers is moved to drivers/nimble. These drivers are
modified to conform to our driver framework.
- libs/tinycrypt and libs/mbedtls are placed in crypto/mbedtls,
crypto/tinycrypt
- libs/bleuart is placed in net/nimble/host/profiles
- libs/bootutil, libs/boot_serial are both placed in boot/ along with
apps/boot
- elua is completed removed from mynewt-core. mynewt-core should
provide the core engine for any scripting language (JS, Lua, Python),
but not bundle one by default.
- drivers is moved to hw/drivers, libs/cmsis-core is moved to
hw/arch/arm/cmsis-core
- fcb is moved from sys/fcb to fs/fcb
- libs/console and libs/shell are moved to sys/console and sys/shell
- examples/ TLD is created, and libs/flash_test, libs/crash_test,
apps/blecent, apps/bleprph, apps/bletest, apps/bletiny, apps/bleuart,
apps/blinky, apps/slinky are all moved to examples.
- libs/os is moved to TLD “os” (or core/os? kern/os?)
- libs/testreport and libs/testutil are moved to a TLD “test/“
- libs/util is broken up into crypto/hash (base64, crc),
time/datetime (datetime.c), and TPQ is deleted (where do we put
cbmem? sys/defs? I think we should probably migrate queue.h from OS
there too.)
- libs/imgmgr moved to mgmt/, libs/newtmgr moved to
frameworks/newtmgr
- coap broken out of libs/iotivity and placed into net/.
- libs/iotivity broken into frameworks/oic.
- sys/mn_socket is moved to net/
- sys/reboot: should this be moved to boot or somewhere else, or just
remain in sys/
Best,
Sterling
