RE: Port Contribution

Hi Richard,

This is what I know about the contribution process:

#1 To submit contributions, you need your copyright assignment from the
FSF in place: http://ecos.sourceware.org/assign.html

#2 Patches should be submitted using Bugzilla
(http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/), setting the Component field to
Patches and contributions. Even if it is obsolete, I still put the eCos
patch mailing list in CC of the Bugzilla case.

#3 Check this post for eCos coding style:
http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-devel/2011-03/msg00016.html

#4 As commented by Ilija, it is better to submit diff in plain text
format (http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001219)

#5 Changes in ecos.db are not sent as diff. Submit an ecos.db than
contains only your added entries.

#6 Note that there is a work in progress to add ARM9 support to eCos:
http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1000819

Hi all,

We have finished now our announced port to Atmel ARM9 microcontroller
AT91SAM9.
Next we want to contribute this port.

We have a lot of questions how to do this:

How we have to prepare the software?
Where we have to upload?
Is there any paper work to do?

We will need some assistance for this process. It is the first time,
that we
contributing to the ecos community!
 
Thanks

Richard
