Report 8 (August 5 - August 11)

This is Report #8. 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
• Developed a driver for the power management chip on the BeagleBoard-xM (TPS65950) with support for the real-time clock peripheral.
• Code merged into mainline Minix this week:
• readclock: add support for am335x RTC
• libminc: add reboot()
• tps65217: driver for the TPS65217 PMIC
• kernel: add support for am335x PMIC-based power-off
• pm: notify readclock of reboot(RBT_POWEROFF)
• kernel: implement reboot for am335x/dm37xx
• tps65950: driver for the TPS65950 PMIC
• readclock: code clean-up, add -q, manpage updates
• readclock.drv: add support for the TPS65950 RTC
• Produced a video demo of the real-time clock driver I developed for the BeagleBone Black. Link: http://youtu.be/rBakaxAGRS0
• Got a positive test report for frame buffer auto-configuration using EDID. I submitted the changes for inclusion in mainline Minix.
• Developed a design for adding support for the WeatherCape.

Issues / Concerns / Challenges:

• None this week :)

Plan for next week:

• Write documentation for the Minix wiki about how EDID reading and the real time clock work.
• Begin developing drivers for the devices on the WeatherCape: TSL2550, SHT21, and BMP085.
