[GSoC 2022] ARM port and device tree support Phase 1

In the first stage of work, the following content was completed: Compile and run arm haiku on osx Fixed some runtime errors The following will show how to compile haiku on osx and run it on qemu (my version: hrev56168) Build and run Haiku on OSX (Intel) Preparation Before starting, since the default file system(APFS) is not case-sensitive, you must first create a case-sensitive volume.

[GSoC 2022] XFS : Community Bonding Progress

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well. Community bonding period ended, so here is the blog on my progress so far. You can see all my patches submitted here Abstract I started my work with moving CRC calculation files from ext2 driver to shared folder (so that it can be used by every other filesystem that needs it) and made it fs_shell compatible. CRC’s are used to detect minor corruption in filesystem and is one of the major features introduced for xfs version 5 as metadata checksumming.

[GSoC 2022] ARM port and device tree support

Introduction I am Zhihong Niu, an Computer science undergraduate student at the Xi’an Shiyou University. This summer I will port Haiku to ARM and support some device tree-based storage device. My mentors for this project are scottmc and David Karoly. Here is the link to my proposal. Project The project actually has three goals: run Haiku on ARM(qemu-system-arm), device tree support and mass storage device driver based on device tree.
