Purpose

Abstract

Pre-requisites

Languages, tools to be known

Programming Language: C

For coverage runs, someone should have m68k/uC5282 or i386/pc386.

For testing purposes, it is easier to debug on sparc/sis. But everyone could use the same target and run their own coverage reports.

You just need to settle on what is easiest and fastest.

Getting and compiling the code

Read Access to RTEMS CVS Repository? ? GSoC Hello instructions might be good ?

Links to overall design/architecture

Pre-event Preparation

• Install and configure a Virtual Machine. Virtual Machine images will be provided.
• If VM is not preferred by the participant then one can build the RTEMS toolchain and then built RTEMS.
  • Build instructions for the toolchain for Debian/Ubuntu? - ​here
  • Or for a ​Quick Start using prebuilt tools
• Run the custom "​Hello World" program to confirm your build is fine.
• Read basic design docs of RTEMS.

Tasks

• Improving code coverage on sparc BSPs with libcsupport included.
• Some basic UI stuff - E.g.: Some improvements to Roxana's work.
• Clean ups and documentation.
• Maybe writing a device driver.
• Writing a UI in python for Coverage analysis.
