Description
Implement a driver for the graphics unit in Raspberry Pi pluggable into the HelenOS graphics stack.
- Details
-
HelenOS can boot on Raspberry Pi but output is currently limited to serial only.
Implement a driver for a the VideoCore chip that would be pluggable to the graphics stack and to the driver framework used in HelenOS and would allow to use the HDMI output of Raspberry Pi.
- What Gains and Benefits will this bring?
- Currently HelenOS does not provide any form of graphical output when running on Raspberry Pi. Adding support for graphical output would improve the experience when using HelenOS on this platform.
- Difficulty
- Medium
- Required skills
- A successful applicant will have good skills of programming in the C language and the ability to survive in a non-standard non-POSIX environment. Previous experience with driver or graphics stack implementation would be beneficial.
- Documentation
- Possible mentors
- HelenOS Core Team
