| = Round 11 projects = Round 10 projects are available [:OPWRound10: here]. For each project, if you click on the proposer's name, you may find more information. == ADXL377 Triple Axis Accelerometer IIO driver == ''Mentor:'': [:OctavianPurdila:Octavian Purdila], [:DanielBaluta: Daniel Baluta] A driver allows applications to communicate and control hardware devices. Each development cycle, driver changes account for more than a half of the total Linux kernel code changes. The goal of this project is to write a driver for Analog Devices ADXL377 triple axis accelerometer using the Industrial I/O interface. In the first part of the project you will get familiar with the hardware and the IIO then implement raw readings from the device. After upstreaming the code we will enhance the driver with support for buffered readings, power management and interrupts. We will provide you the hardware setup necessary to test the driver. == Staging driver cleanup == ''Mentor:'': [:GregKH: Greg Kroah-Hartman] This project will dive into a few specific drivers in the staging tree, doing more than just basic code formatting cleanup. The goal will be to help change the code to make it acceptable for merging into the "real" portion of the kernel. If possible, hardware will be provided for the code being worked on. == Project == ''Mentor:'': [:WikiName:Mentor names] Brief project description. |
