Hi everybody,
today, the public ReconOS repository on GitHub went online. So now, the
the following list includes all public ReconOS resources:
* http://www.reconos.de
High-level information, user documentation and public announcements
* http://github.com/luebbers/reconos
ReconOS source code repository (with issue tracker)
* http://github.com/luebbers/reconos/wiki
Development guidelines, developer documentation
* http://reconos-devel.lists.reconos.de
ReconOS mailing list
The GitHub repository supersedes the old Mercurial repository on bitbucket, as
well as the SVN repository on pc-techinf-4. These older repositories will
probably be deactivated in a few weeks.
Making the repository public does not mean that it's complete, of course.
There are a lot of places which need work, both in the source and the
documentations. We'd greatly appreciate any help, especially in the following
areas:
* User documentation
The most important possible contributions to the User's guide are
current installation instructions and a number of tutorials walking new
users through creating and using a rSoC design with ReconOS. There's
already a lot of related information in the old pc-techinf-4 wiki, the
bitbucket wiki, and in unpublished or restricted pages on reconos.de.
We should move these over to reconos.de (for 'user-space' information)
and the wiki on GitHub (for 'kernel-space' information).
* Include current development off the main ReconOS branch
As some of you have continued developing ReconOS applications (with
their associated modifications to the ReconOS tools and core
components), these should definitely be incorporated into the main
repository.
* Update to current tools
With the recent release of partial reconfiguration as an official
feature within the Xilinx tools, we should update our reference designs
and tool chain to the current versions of ISE and EDK (12.2 as of this
writing). Also, eCos has progressed to version 3.0, which should be
incorporated and tested within the ReconOS repository.
* Upgrade to current FPGA families
To stay up-to-date with current device families, ReconOS target support
should be extended to more FPGAs and processors. The Virtex-6 family has
dropped embedded PowerPCs; thus porting ReconOS/eCos to the MicroBlaze
is something we should tackle in the near future.
These, of course, are just my suggestions. Please feel free to add to the
discussion on this list. Also, tell us here if there are any problems
accessing
any of the sources above.
I hope that the improvements in the ReconOS development infrastructure can
help to make your involvement in ReconOS easier, more productive, and, above
all, more fun!
Best regards
- Enno
