=  Purpose  =

=  Abstract  =

=  Pre-requisites  =

=  Hardware/Software  =


Laptop with GNU/Linux installed on it (preferably a RedHat based distro).
=  Brainware  =


 *  Programming Language: C
 *  Basic bash Shell scripting
 *  Interest and high motivation to work on embedded systems (both with arch/board simulators and real boards)
 *  Loads of patience (for debugging, debugging embedded systems is not trivial).
=  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 build RTEMS. 
  *  Build instructions for the toolchain for Debian/Ubuntu - [http://rtems.com/wiki/index.php/Building_the_RTEMS_toolset_on_Ubuntu here]
  *  Or for a [http://rtems.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_Start Quick Start] using prebuilt tools
 *  Run the custom "[http://rtems.com/wiki/index.php/GSoC_Getting_Started Hello World]" program to confirm your build is fine.
 *  Read basic design docs of RTEMS.
=  Tasks  =

 *  Getting MMU support code from GSOC project cleaned up, add more features as listed on "Future work" section of the GSOC report
 *  Improving code coverage with libcsupport included. We shall be focusing on the following BSPs:
  *  pc386
  *  uC5282
since these BSPs work on Free simulators that have coverage enabled and the reports can be generated on the spot quickly.
 *  Some basic UI stuff - E.g.: Some improvements to Roxana's work.
 *  Clean ups and documentation.
 *  Fixing easy/medium bugs chosen from the RTEMS Bugzilla.
 *  Writing a UI in python for Coverage analysis.
 *  Maybe writing a device driver.
