Attendees
- Dave Russo, Bob Frankel, Martin Oberhuber, Eric Cloninger
Notes
- Bob: Potentially got server, site etc
- Prepare 1 slide for the server for the EclipseCon talk
- Eclipse on the desktop; get compiler, debugger, RTSC, simulator etc all through p2
- What's possible using Eclipse as component manager?
- Rationale: There's a multitude of (similar) platforms -- where 1 compiler can be re-used for multiple platforms. Use p2 for managing this - "Platform Support Packages"
- Take the RTSC tutorial stuff as initial contents
- Problem: TI is not on the latest Eclipse / CDT ... perhaps the packaging will motivate silicon vendors to move to the latest
- Prepare 1 slide for the server for the EclipseCon talk
- Dave: in Open Source, have "just the basics" to have something working, but including the Platform - starting with MSP430. Vendors to go beyond that.
- BeagleBoard might be the next step, hopefully get some community support for that
- Bob: Delivering content isn't the problem.
- How modular / pluggable are the vendor specific Eclipse / CDT debuggers today? Atmel, TI, ... a "call to arms" for the CDT community can debuggers be installed side by side in the CDT?
- Multi-context support: proprietary today, simple in Open source... improved workflows to happen later
- Initial step: TI's Code Composer Essentials as base, only pull little stuff from the extra site
- Eclipse 3.2 + CDT ?.? -- the only way to get the very specific debugger needed for this platform
- Bootstrapper to be "quite complete" in the beginning; reduce bootstrapper / increase downloaded stuff in the longer term
- Martin: How to come up with the rules for the PSP's ? - Dave and Bob to come up with rules by doing it once
- Who to do the bundling?
- How to write up instructions such that the Community can do the bundling?
- What do we want to have at EclipseCon:
- Basic infrastructure for the Community: Wiki, mailinglist, bugzilla, ...
- Can that be on Eclipse? - Problematic: Project creation takes 3 weeks ... DSDP incubator? What if the entire charter is creating stuff that cannot be hosted at Eclipse.org?
- Giving the right impressions
- Bootstrapping the Community
- Who can drive this?
- Martin is resource constrained
- Dave might have conflict of interest
- Bob wants to wait (3 months) before becoming an official lead
- Martin can be the frontman but can't drive this
- Bob: http://sysbios.org - should become the site for getting ready-made contents
- Want a sourceforge project? The activity for tooling the site might be on a different place
Action Items
-
AI Martin to talk to Doug about Eclipse project - AI Martin send sf Wascana url, and talk to DougS
- AI Bob create slide for ECon talk
- AI Dave gather data about ripping TI's stuff apart to using Eclipse 3.5
