Details:: Turris Omnia is an open-hardware router for home use. It features dual-core ARM CPU, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and 5 LAN ports. The machine is well documented and can be used as a model hardware for the network usability of HelenOS. Turris Omnia offers a lot of functionality (including USB, !WiFi or SIM card slot) thus a complete support would require more than 3 monts but basic functionality is within the reach of a single trimester work. HelenOS supports the ARMv7-A architecture, including the Cortext-A8 processor, but has not yet been ported to a Cortex-A9 processor used by Turris Omnia. This project will therefore require some kernel and platform code modifications. What Gains and Benefits will this bring?:: Turris Omnia would be a good demonstrator for HelenOS to show that HelenOS is capable of a full-fledged routing functionality. Difficulty:: Medium to High Required skills:: A successful applicant will need to have very good skills in programming in the C language and the ability to learn how to drive hardware based on various information sources (official documentation, source code of other operating system projects). Kernel developmanet experience is a plus.
