tock / tock-stm32 Goto Github PK

Hi,

Is there any plan to add Ethernet MAC support when STM32F4 support is added?

Cheers,
Richard

I think the basic structure makes sense right now, with two exceptions:

1. It might be worth getting rid of the tock submodule, and instead depending on the main git repo, possibly tied to a specific commit. The biggest reason not to do this, I think, is that Signpost has been using a submodule pretty successfully and why rock the boat.

2. The cortex-m3 crate could probably make its way into the main Tock repo sooner than everything else. While we don't currently have another Cortex-M3 supported upstream, there is really no difference between the M3 and M4 w.r.t to the details in these crates. The core kernel, on the other hand, is fairly coupled with the arch crate still, and it might be easier to change those in lockstep.

I don't think either need to change particularly quickly though.

As for the stm32 crate, I believe it actually has some stm32f1 specific code in there, but it might be easiest to just let that be and fix it when another variant needs it to be organized differently.

With support in tock/tock for several stm32 chips, is this repository still useful? It might be confusing if someone finds this first.

To ensure new contributions can be built, it would be great if we could enable Travis on this repository. I suppose someone part of the organisation will be able to do that (@alevy?).
