I am looking for a good project to get involved with and I am looking
for ideas.
What I offer to the potential project:
1) Low level programming experience (no operating system) in C. I do
know some assembly programming, but I would likely have to learn or
relearn the architecture being used or developed for. I am currently
developing non-trivial applications for microchip microcontrollers and I
have also worked with MIPS4 (Microprocessor Without Interlocking
Pipeline Stages).
2) Ability to read a datasheet and understanding of how hardware works.
3) Time
Where I am weak (today):
Although I consider myself to have basic linux/gentoo skills there is a
plethora of linux topics and technologies that I need to learn in a more
methodical way. I am willing to do my homework, but I looking for the
focus or direction of a project to force me to learn these things.
What I hope to achieve:
Learn more about the interfaces to the kernel and other resources. I
eventually wish to be reasonably independent developing for an embedded
system.
An example of a project that may be appropriate is lm_sensors, but at
this time I am unwilling to continuously buy hardware to develop on.
If anybody has any serious ideas, I am more than willing to listen.
