Hello everyone, I am Mritunjay Sharma, a second-year Computer Science Engineering Undergraduate Student at JSS Academy of Technical Education Noida, interested in Embedded Linux Development and love to code in C/C++. Pleased to share with everyone that I have been selected as a 'Student Developer' for RTEMS in Google Summer of Code 2020. I will be working on the proposal of "BSP Buildset for EPICS" under the mentorship of Pavel Pisa, Heinz Junkes, Gedare Bloom and Chris Johns.
This is going to be an opportunity for me to not only grow as a developer but also as a human, the growth in my soft skills, will be highly rewarding as this is my first experience with working such an amazing Open-Source Community! Here's a basic overview of the project and what we will be doing this summer:- We know that The development of the freely available, open-source, RTEMS, solved one of the biggest obstacles that beamline researchers used to face in buying commercial Real-Time operating systems that used EPICS base software. However, with both EPICS and RTEMS gearing up for their latest stable releases, i.e, EPICS7 and RTEMS5 respectively, they should be made fully compatible to ensure continuous support in the newer versions. This project aims to solve this problem and create a vertically integrated BSP Build Set which will be able to create a bootable BSP image with EPICS7+RTEMS 5 that can run in a simulator. RTEMS provides RTEMS Source Builder which is a tool to build packages from source and adding packages like EPICS to the RSB as libraries is called vertical integration. This project will create build sets that stack library dependencies vertically to create a stack. The main goals of this project are to make progress for some low-barrier simulation approaches like qemu/i386, qemu/xilinx_zynq and powerpc/psim used by EPICS community and then later on move to real hardware systems. I have already started working and researching on adding libbsd support and will require the help of my mentors to help me more on breaking the threshold of my first contribution to this. I have also worked and will be closing #3905 (Clean up BSP wiki Pages) before the coding period begins. Thank you so much for this opportunity. Really blessed to be a part of this! I will try my best to contribute and collaborate in the best possible way! Thanks, Mritunjay
