Learned a few things at WWDC that have re-inspired me to work on this project. Ping me if I haven't posted an update by July 31, 2004.

Felix and I talked alot during WWDC about the OpenDarwin roadmap. I'm not going to talk about that here, but I will list several projects that will get my attention in the coming months.

In no particular order...

  • sablevm - get this freeware java environment working under opendarwin (ppc and x86) and add it to darwinports
  • gnustep - get all of gnustep compiled and working under opendarwin and add it to darwinports
  • modify the src/build/rc.cdrom script so it can properly create HFS+ partitions under x86
  • create a simple "bless" utility for x86 so opendarwin 7.2x and later can boot more intelligently
  • continue improving the tulip driver to cover more of the original DEC chips
  • finish port of myrinet OSX drivers to IOKit, and test them under opendarwin-x86
  • create a driver shim for IOKit so we can quickly port free/open/netbsd network drivers to opendarwin
  • create some IOKit examples (template code) for common devices like USB or FireWire
  • refactor tulip driver so it can use an IOPCCard nub just as easily as an IOPCIDevice
I'll create a separate page at some point to contain my open projects. That will be a better reference than a blog post, but I wanted to get this out there for comment.
