Offer: I'm going to automate FreeBSD-wireless AP builds, but what I need is hardware..

Adrian Chadd — 2013-04-21T03:27:43

Hiya,

Now that the missing piece of support is almost done (hostap mode
powersave/pspoll support) I'm going to move onto the next thing -
doing automated FreeBSD builds for people to run on AP equipment.

What I have that is publicly available:

* Ubiquiti Routerstation
* Ubiquiti Routerstation Pro
* D-Link DIR-825
* TP-Link TL-WR1043nd

.. and lots of Atheros reference designs that are almost-but-not-quite
what people actually ship. :-)

I've had plenty of people ask me if I can supply builds for their
various wifi APs so they don't have to build the software themselves.

So here's my offer - if you'd like me to add to the above list of
hardware that I'll do automatic builds for, I'll need some hardware.
If you send me a supported AP, I'll snaffle the relevant bits from
linux/openwrt/atheros and stick it into my build list.

The 'supported hardware" list:

* .. openwrt runs on it. :-)
* anything with an Atheros MIPS24k core - AR71xx, AR913x, AR724x, AR933x
* Atheros 802.11n wifi
* At least 32MB RAM
* At le

GSOC 2013 project " Kernel Size Reduction for Embedded System "

Amit Rawat — 2013-04-08T20:22:14

GSOC posted the list of selected organization for GSOC 2013 and I am highly
happy that FreeBSD is among the selected organization.

I am a third year student interested to work in the field of embedded
system. I applied last year and the title of my project was " Kernel Size
Reduction for Embedded System". The link to my last year proposal is
"
https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/amitrawat10/1#c8001"
But due to some flaws it doesn't get selected. I am looking to improve my
proposal for this year and apply again. I explain some portion of my
project pictorially on my blog

"
https://amit10rawat.wordpress.com/2013/02/26/kernel-size-reduction-for-embedded-system/
"

I am looking for suggestion and new ideas by which I can reduce the size of
kernel.

Re: FreeBSD on the AP121 (AR9330)

Adrian Chadd — 2013-04-05T04:15:26


USB now seems to work.

The AR933x however doesn't support USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 "slow speed"
(what they call "full-speed, sigh") devices though.
They work, until they don't.

The "fix" is to use an external USB 2.0 hub , to ensure that the
device sees high-speed USB 2.0 rather than 1.1 or full-speed 2.0.

Don't ask me why; I'm just documenting..

Re: FreeBSD on the AP121 (AR9330)

Adrian Chadd — 2013-04-05T00:30:13

.. for what it's worth, the basic AP121 CPU + UART support is now in -HEAD.

So if you have an AR9330/AR9331 based device, you can start testing
out the basic SoC.

I'll next work on Ethernet, USB and switch PHY support. That will at
least get it in a usable state.

The kernel footprint problems are still there. :-) I'd really
appreciate some help here!

Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science

2013-04-02T23:01:26

We are researchers from different parts of the world and conducted a study on  
the world’s biggest bogus computer science conference WORLDCOMP 
( http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 ) organized by Prof. Hamid Arabnia 
from University of Georgia, USA.


We submitted a fake paper to WORLDCOMP 2011 and again (the 
same paper with a modified title) to WORLDCOMP 2012. This paper 
had numerous fundamental mistakes. Sample statements from 
that paper include: 

(1). Binary logic is fuzzy logic and vice versa
(2). Pascal developed fuzzy logic
(3). Object oriented languages do not exhibit any polymorphism or inheritance
(4). TCP and IP are synonyms and are part of OSI model 
(5). Distributed systems deal with only one computer
(6). Laptop is an example for a super computer
(7). Operating system is an example for computer hardware


Also, our paper did not express any conceptual meaning.  However, it 
was accepted both the times without any modifications (and without 
any reviews) and we were invited to submit
