Upstream In-House Board Support Package

Magnus Damm

This presentation gives the kernel development history of the Migo-R BSP. Software developers often struggle to find the right balance between long term engineering investments and short term hacks. Project deadlines and technical requirements need to be fulfilled. Upstream development makes this even harder. Long term goals set by the community must be followed as well. The developer must work together with the communtiy, manage multiple source trees and make sure that it all fits together in the end. The organization must deliver in time and cope with a somewhat irregular community release schedule. During this presentation the audience will be shown the full BSP development cycle from prototype to release along with code release statistics. Recommendations will be given on how to submit code upstream and still satisfy interal deadlines. This presentation is mainly of development process nature, but some technical details will be included to entertain the audience.
