Ethernet devices can be as simple as the 1 gigabit ethernet controllers in your laptop, to much faster ethernet controllers in servers. Interns would work on the Intel 1 gigabit ethernet driver, igb and/or ethtool, the networking configuration userspace application that works with the drivers. Wired ethernet devices supported by igb are found in some laptops and most servers, but hardware will be provided if you don't have access to it. What will be required is a PCIe slot to put the any hardware you need into and at least one other system (laptop is fine, as long as it has an RJ45 network drop) to use as a link partner and a network cable to link them. ''Required skills'': Experience with Linux network configuation and basic C programming stills ''Optional but learnable skills:'' Knowledge of networking and networking features found in most ethernet devices. ''Mentors:'' Carolyn Wyborny [:CarolynWyborny:(contact info)] Anjali Jain [:AnjaliJain:(contact info)] === USB === attachment:usb-sushi.jpg The Linux kernel includes a USB stack that communicates with the hardware behind your USB ports (USB host controller drivers), and includes USB device drivers that talk to your USB devices (USB device drivers). Interns would work on the USB 3.0 host controller driver. The Linux kernel USB 3.0 host driver works 10 times faster than USB 2.0 host driver. The USB 3.0 driver still needs a lot of work, so there are plenty of small bug fixes that interns can tackle. If time permits, interns could also work on small to medium features. USB 3.0 hardware will be provided to accepted interns if you don't have access to it. ''Required skills'': Experience with manipulating linked lists in C, knowledge of basic boolean algrebra (bit masks and manipulating bits) ''Optional but learnable skills'': Knowledge of USB or other low-level busses ''Mentor'': Sarah Sharp [:SarahSharp:(contact info)] ''Suggested reading for accepted interns'': [http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ Linux Device Drivers] and [http://www.beyondlogic.org/usbnutshell/usb1.shtml USB in a Nutshell] == x86 core == attachment:tux-hardware.jpg In the heart of the Linux kernel is code that runs directly on x86 processors. This includes early boot code, etc. This part of the kernel is usually considered one of the more complex areas of the operating system. However, with a bit of guidance, it's really fascinating to see how a computer begins the journey from powered off to a blinking cursor at your login prompt. Interns would work alongside PJ on central boot code in the Linux kernel. Today, the kernel brings CPU's online one by one in a serial fashion. We can do better. Several stages of changes are planned to go from a completely serial approach to a fully parallel approach to bringing CPU's up. Interns would work on some of these planned changes. ''Required skills:'' Knowledge of how to use and manipulate pointers and function pointers in C is a must. ''Optional but learnable skills:'' Knowledge of computer architecture, x86 assembly ''Mentors:'' Peter Waskiewicz Jr (PJ) [:PeterWaskiewicz:(contact info)] |
