Hey guys,
Hope you all are doing well and safe.
Intro:
I have been a GSoC'18 student with Haiku. My project was to create
SDHCI MMC Driver[1] which recently got merged, all thanks to Adrien
and Waddlesplash and sorry for not being around. In 2019 I did a
project[2] with VideoLAN on dav1d(dav1d is a AV1 decoder) which
involved raw SIMD programming for ARM32 and ARM64 bit processors. I
graduated last year and currently working for a mobile robotics
company[3] as an embedded systems engineer.
Prologue:
I would very much like to see haiku being ported on ARM64
processors(as those exist in majority than ARM32) and RISC V, and be
part of the development process. I can try to work out 25 - 30 hrs
weekly. With all this I also want to propose the idea of having a
server edition for ARM processors which basically would require less
overhead of the OS on the processor, fast boot, memory management,
threading, recovery and so on. I see a great potential of haiku to
excel in that space.
Query:
Since I was not active it is hard to catch up with the current
development and a point to get started(whichever is priority, ARM or
RISC V). Also, I have got an Odroid N2 so can try and test development
on that too. Maybe we can also push some of the projects related to
ARM and RISC V to GSoC'21 list.
Please let me know your views on this and pointers to get started.
Thanks,
B Krishnan Iyer
