I'm taking this conversation to the list.

Hello,
I am very pleased to have the opportunity to participate in GSoC
with the RTEMS project!
Welcome! We are glad to have you helping RTEMS.
Now, I have some questions:
1. Does anyone have any recommendation on the proposal?
I like the proposal, but there are a couple of things that may change
slightly:
1. You may want to look into making the UART driver work in interrupt
driven mode, as it is currently polled.
I will have a look at it.
2. For the Framebuffer support, I have been talking to someone off
list that is making progress on implementing a framebuffer driver. We
may want to collaborate with this person for the framebuffer.
Certainly. I was scheduling the framebuffer work for July, should that
be re-scheduled?
2. Is there any interesting documentation or code you think I
should be looking at right now? For the past month I have been
studying the RPi BSP code and the RPi architecture for the emmc
driver that I am doing for my final project at the university.
From what I can see, you are off to a very good start!
3. There is no wiki page for the Raspberry Pi BSP (at least I have
not found any yet). May I create one using the Open Project
template and link it in the Open Projects page under the BSP section?
I did not create one, so please do.
4. I will create a dedicated development blog for the project very
soon. How frequently should it be updated until may 19?
5. How should the communication happen? Also I am not sure if the
Amar Takhar and Muhammad Adnan e-mails are the correct ones.
I will also be setting a github repository for this, and I am also
looking to get my own RPi and some peripherals (I have one at the
university right now).
I have been setting up my Pi for RTEMS development again. I recently
built u-boot and I am going to try to get it to boot RTEMS images from
a TFTP server. This may help speed up development.
I am also trying out a FT2232H MiniMod evaluation board that is
supposed to work with the Raspberry Pi JTAG interface and the OpenOCD
project. It also serves as the USB uart connector. I have it all wired
up and I hope to try getting it to talk to OpenOCD soon. If I get it
working, I will document everything. The FT2232H Minimod board was $20
USD.
Nice. Looking forward to that, as I still need to look at the debugging
part of the development.
Meanwhile I have set up a development blog and a google calendar for the
project:

I will try to come up with more news during the weekend.

Thank you,
