Report 7 (July 29 - August 4)

This is Report #7. I plan to post these every Sunday. They will give a rundown of what I've done during the week, list any problems I had, and what I plan to do the following week. I'll be posting the reports both to the beagle-gsoc Google Group and to my blog.

Completed this week:

• Rebased against mainline Minix.
• Code merged into mainline Minix:
• tda19988: driver for the TDA19988 HDMI Transmitter
• Finished the frame buffer driver enhancements. Put out a call for testers on my blog and in the Minix3 and BeagleBoard Google Groups.
• Enhanced the readclock driver to support the RTC in the AM335X.
• Developed a driver for the TPS65217 Power Management IC (PMIC) with support for safe power-off via the power button as well as `shutdown -p`.
• Filmed a short demo video
• Wrote a blog post about how it works.
• Implemented rebooting for the BeagleBone, BeagleBone Black, and BeagleBoard-xM.

Issues / Concerns / Challenges:

• None this week :)

Plan for next week:

• Submit changes for merging into mainline Minix:
• frame buffer driver enhancements.
• am335x rtc driver.
• tps65217 driver.
• other changes related to power-off.
• reboot support for am335x/dm37xx.
• Begin working on a driver for the power management chip on the BeagleBoard-xM (TPS65950).
