RTOS/microkernel imporvements#
These project ideas focus on growing open source for microcontrollers with a specific focus on better understanding of computer systems and co-processing in a heterogeneous, asymmetrical multiprocessor system where Linux is the typical kernel used on the system coordination portion of the system.
RTOS/microkernel imporvements Medium complexity 350 hours
Incorporating Zephyr RTOS support onto the Cortex-R5 cores of the TDA4VM SoC along with Linux operation on the A72 core. The objective is to harness the combined capabilities of both systems to support BeagleBone AI-64.
Goal: submit upstream patches to support BeagleBone AI-64 and respond to feedback
Hardware Skills: Familiarity with ARM Cortex R5
Possible Mentors: Dhruva Gole, Nishanth Menon
Upstream Repository: The primary repository for Zephyr Project
Expected Size of Project: 350 hrs
