Hello,
Being accepted into GSOC with RTEMS is very exciting. This has been possible
due to the constant support of Joel & Cynthia. A special thanks to Gedare for
an in depth criticization of my proposal, which helped me improve it.
I'll be working this summer on the 'Unified APIs' Project. The main task
required for this project is to ensure that in areas where BSP support
capabilities and APIs have evolved over the years, all the code there is moved
to the latest version and any older implementations and inconsistencies across
targets and BSPs are killed. The various components of this project are :
* Generalize the PIC interrupt support in sparc to support any other
simple vectored architecture.
* Spot discrepancies in file usage in various BSPs with PCI support.
* Review/Cleanup header files, which are publicly installed by
different BSPs , since this is the area having the most variation in coding
style.
* Unify naming styles, used for the same files in different BSPs, so as
to have consistent file names for the same supporting capability.
My full length proposal can be found at

, and

As suggested by my mentor, I believe community input would act as an integral
part of my work. So, I'm looking forward enthusiastically to working with you
guys.
Hoping for a great Summer !!!
Regards
Vipul Nayyar
