Mentors: Alan Cudmore, Muhammad Adnan, Jennifer Averett and Amar Takhar

Students: André Marques

Status: This project is currently in the design phase

Introduction: This project will improve the Raspberry Pi BSP support for peripherals, namely: GPIO driver, I2C and SPI Bus drivers and Frame Buffer graphics driver support.

Goal: The GPIO driver should have a "generic" interface, so that other BSP's only need to provide the low level part of the driver. The I2C and SPI Bus drivers should use the cpukit/libi2c API library, while the FrameBuffer? driver should use the rtems framebuffer API. Each of these drivers will be tested with real hardware wired to a Raspberry Pi. The debug environment will also be looked during this project.

Requirements: This project requires some familiarity with the RTEMS codebase, low level programming in C and some hardware knowledge.
