Port Contribution
Locked

Hi all,
We have finished now our announced port to Atmel ARM9 microcontroller AT91SAM9. Next we want to contribute this port. We have a lot of questions how to do this: How we have to prepare the software? Where we have to upload? Is there any paper work to do? We will need some assistance for this process. It is the first time, that we contributing to the ecos community! Thanks Richard Richard Rauch email: [hidden email] _______________________________________________ ITR GmbH Informationstechnologie Rauch Schnepfenreuther Hauptstrasse 27b D-90425 Nuernberg _______________________________________________ |

Hi Richard,
This is what I know about the contribution process: #1 To submit contributions, you need your copyright assignment from the FSF in place: http://ecos.sourceware.org/assign.html #2 Patches should be submitted using Bugzilla (http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/), setting the Component field to Patches and contributions. Even if it is obsolete, I still put the eCos patch mailing list in CC of the Bugzilla case. #3 Check this post for eCos coding style: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-devel/2011-03/msg00016.html #4 As commented by Ilija, it is better to submit diff in plain text format (http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001219) #5 Changes in ecos.db are not sent as diff. Submit an ecos.db than contains only your added entries. #6 Note that there is a work in progress to add ARM9 support to eCos: http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1000819 Christophe -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Richard Rauch Sent: 12. mai 2011 08:25 To: [hidden email] Subject: Port Contribution Hi all, We have finished now our announced port to Atmel ARM9 microcontroller AT91SAM9.

Thanks for the fast reply.
I know this review process. Our port is based on this port, too. So maybe it would be better to await the results of this review, before contributing our own port? But unfortunately there is less progress on this task.

Also I find it useful to group /hal/ and /devs/ (if any) packages in separate diffs so they could be reviewed and committed independently. > #6 Note that there is a work in progress to add ARM9 support to eCos: > http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1000819 > > Christophe > > -----Original Message----- > From: [hidden email] > [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Richard Rauch > Sent: 12. mai 2011 08:25 > To: [hidden email] > Subject: Port Contribution > > Hi all, > > We have finished now our announced port to Atmel ARM9 microcontroller > AT91SAM9. > Next we want to contribute this port. > > We have a lot of questions how to do this: > > How we have to prepare the software? > Where we have to upload? > Is there any paper work to do? > > We will need some assistance for this process.
