Libbsd-port

Status: No active volunteers.

This is a project to port more FreeBSD NIC device drivers to RTEMS. Till Straumann has developed the libbsd-port kit which is in the CVS module of the same name. It is considered a prototype but a very good and working starting place.

It would be very useful to have an semi-automated procedure to assist developers in porting individual drivers on an as needed basis than a large collection of untested drivers. The Rosetta OS Device Driver API? effort is a "non-Linux OS" working group which hopes to provide a common foundation set of APIs for device drivers. By supporting this, any Rosetta OS Device Driver API? compliant driver would just work.

In summary, this kit works and is a great aid. However, long term we want to work with the ​Rosetta OS members to formalize an API so porting code like this is simple.
