NetBSD Ports Roadmap
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
This roadmap covers ports and port-specific issues, and also bus-level
|
|
material even if it's not strictly port-specific.
|
|
|
|
The following elements, projects, and goals are considered strategic
|
|
priorities for the project:
|
|
|
|
0. DRMKMS update
|
|
|
|
The following elements, projects, and goals are not strategic
|
|
priorities but are still important undertakings worth doing:
|
|
|
|
1. riscv and/or or1k ports
|
|
2. cheri port
|
|
|
|
The following elements, projects, and goals are perhaps less pressing;
|
|
this doesn't mean one shouldn't work on them but the expected payoff
|
|
is perhaps less than for other things:
|
|
|
|
[none presently]

Explanations
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
0. DRMKMS update
|
|
|
|
The DRM drivers get old with time. The current drivers are from Linux 4.4,
|
|
having a newer version would be nice.
|
|
|
|
- As of July 2018, maya is working on this.
|
|
|
|
1. riscv and/or or1k ports
|
|
|
|
We have some riscv code and a bit of or1k code, but neither is done.
|
|
|
|
- As of July 2018, zmcgrew is working on riscv in a separate repository
|
|
https://github.com/zmcgrew/src/tree/riscv
|
|
Nobody is working on or1k.
|
|
- Contact matt@ for further information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. cheri port
|
|

|

|
|
There are a number of reasons to tackle this; it will serve as a code
|
|
quality lever. Also there's already a FreeBSD port to steal from.
