Thank you for taking an interest in the Unified API project! We could make adding a "syscall" API another open project on: http://www.rtems.org/wiki/index.php/Open_Projects We would probably want to concentrate on well-used, properly licensed for deeply embedded applications, syscall API (such as syscalls.master from BSD.) >>On Jun 3, 2013, at 10:15 AM, Vipul Nayyar wrote: >>Hello, >> >>Being accepted into GSOC with RTEMS is very exciting.
