Porting OpenGL(Mesa3D) to RTEMS

Hello everyone!
I’m interested in the “Porting OpenGL to RTEMS” GSoC project. In this topic, the main focus is on exploring the feasibility of porting Mesa3D to RTEMS. I’ll update this message as them [updates] occur.
Also opening the topic it to serve as a thread for the work on the issue

I’m also interested in this project. Can I get advice from possible mentors what things they expect to be in the proposal?

With any porting effot there are usually a few common considerations for planning the proposal.

  1. Can you build the software at all?
  2. Can you run the software on anything?
  3. Can you build the software with RTEMS?
  4. Can you run the software with RTEMS?

Answering these questions will help you to frame the proposal and to plan the work. Once you know how to do #1-4, then you can consider what is the best way to integrate the software with RTEMS. Here again there are a few choices:

  1. Integrate directly in tree through contrib?
  2. Integrate through a build recipe in RSB?

The proposal should show good understanding of the above points I made regarding the current state of the software, and a plan for how to proceed with integration to RTEMS. A good proposal will identify the risks and challenges, and outline a few ways that you expect to overcome them.
