Re: GSOC: Adding FDT infrastructure to RTEMS

Hello Niteesh, I am not in favour of a home grown solution. We should not re-invent the wheel. Working with device trees may appear to be simple, however, this could end up in a multi-person-month project easily. There are several existing solutions for device drivers based on device trees. Wha

I am in the process of preparing my GSoC proposal and I would like to discuss in more detail on implementation and necessary functions. Assuming, a basic probe and attach functionality have been added, I guess the console-config could be changed to http://collabedit.com/adyh
