Hi,

Minnowboard is looking for GSoC projects this year.

http://wiki.minnowboard.org/GSoC2016

There are a few things listed in README.x86 to be done. Any ideas?


Maybe speed up USB port scan ? This really needs to be parallelized
by using some for of cooperative multi-tasking.

For starters just parallelizing the scanning of separate controllers
in drivers/usb/host/usb-uclass.c: usb_init() by splitting
usb_scan_bus() into a  usb_scan_bus_start() and usb_scan_bus_get_status()
with the latter being called repeatedly until all busses are done
would already help. Then do something similar for scanning all
ports of a hub in "parallel", etc.

Yes that sounds good. There is a lot that could be done there. Are you
interested in mentoring a student?

Just to inform you, so that we don't work on this with multiple people
at the same time and waist resources. I'm currently working on this USB
scan speedup. I suspect to have something ready to publish latest by
end of this week.

Thanks,
Stefan
