Code contribution

[Vitali Fridliand]

Dear maintainers,

I have made a port of eCOS Redboot to ST Microelectronics SPEArNet MCU.
The port includes Redboot RAMROM configuration, ROM configuration,
ethernet driver for the integrated MAC110, serial driver for the
integrated RS323.

How it would be possible to contribute the port to the code base?

With best regards,
Vitali Fridliand

Hi Vitali,

The first step to get out of the way is getting a copyright assignment in
place with the Free Software Foundation (FSF). To request the assignment
form, you need to first fill in the form at this link:
<http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnulib/doc/Copyright/request-assign.future?revision=1&root=gnulib>
and email it to <assign@gnu.org>.

We should get notified when the process is complete, after which we can
look at getting the contribution incorporated. You can either create the
contribution in our bugzilla database (http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org> or
mail it to <ecos-patches@ecos.sourceware.org>. For large bodies of new
code, probably the best thing to do is send the new files in a tarball, and
any changes as a patch (usually created by something like "cvs -q diff -u5
-p").
