Hello!
Illumos project ideas page (https://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/Project+Ideas) says that Josef "Jeff" Sipek could be a mentor of the project.
I've tried to contact him via email without success. He hasn't responded yet. It is OK for me to wait but there is a really liitle time left to apply for a participation in GSoC (till April, 3).
Does anybody have any suggestions how to solve this problem? I would be very thankful for that.
Thanks,
Maxim

I agree that this sounds like a good plan. I’m not too up-to-speed on the status of the current ARM port, but I know that some folks have been working on it off and on for a while.Perhaps someone more familiar with the status of ARM support can speak up. If its a matter of drivers or something like that, then I can probably help mentor.On Sun, Mar 19, 2017 at 6:50 PM, Robert Mustacchi <[email protected]> wrote:On 3/19/17 8:48 , Куклин Максим wrote:

Hi Maxim,
I think there's always interest in folks looking to improve and really
create ARM support. I would say that for a focused summer I would plan
on making progress on some amount of an ARM port and that I would
probably focus first on working in QEMU, allowing for a slightly faster
iteration cycle and slightly easier debugging (unless you have hardware
debugging around).
