This is the thirteenth progress report for TrackGit project. I did the following in last week: Since, the planned work from the proposal is done, Stephan and I agreed on doing some UI improvements to the existing views. Stephan suggested me some improvements, which I did in last week. These are: Added progress bar to Clone Window I added a progress bar to the clone window. This will give better information about the clone progress.

[GSoC 2018: SDHCI MMC Driver]: Week #9

Blog post by krish_iyer on Tue, 2018-07-24 19:03

Hello everyone, here we are with another update on the project. Last week we have started with installing interrupt handler, so basically we will pass the address of a function while installing the interrupt handler, later when an interrupt occurs that function will be called. We opted for pin-based interrupt handler, which is one of the levels of interrupt handling. I have explained them in previous blogs. Instructions to install an interrupt handler: bus->irq = pciInfo->u.

This is the twelveth progress report for TrackGit project. I did the following in last week: Implemented Log Viewer I implemented a log viewer in TrackGit.

This is the eleventh progress report for TrackGit project. I did the following in last week: Implemented Create Branch command I implemented Create Branch command. This command creates a branch at head of the repository. There is also an option to switch to the newly created branch. Link to commit. The following screenshot shows Create Branch window: Implemented Switch Branch command I implemented option to switch branch.

So here we are in the final week of the second phase of this project. I would like to address what was planned for this phase and what we have achieved and will proceed to plan for the third phase. Second Phase Highlights We were successful in register mapping through MMUIO. We have created a bus manager but not linked with controller ATM. Interrupts have not been implemented but also not required in this phase.

Hey guys! Last week we have improved the code and made it more readable. We have completed the reset and clock sequence and proceed with power sequence. In the 4th step of the sequence, it asks to get the Operation Conditions Register(OCR) value of SD card. In the SD host controller spec, in command register there is command index bits which mention about setting up command number specified in bits 45-40 of the command-format in SD Memory Card Physical Layer Specification.

This is the tenth progress report for TrackGit project. I did the following in last week. Implemented Show conflicts Window Last week I implemented Pull command. While pulling changes, sometimes there might be conflicts while merging the changes. These conflicts are shown when pull command execution is finished. In addition to that, I implemented a “Show conflicts” option to see the current conflicting files in the repository. This option is only shown when there are conflicts in the repository.

LibreOffice for Haiku, a not-so-short story

Blog post by KapiX on Sun, 2018-07-08 02:16

As many of you are already aware, LibreOffice is now available on Haiku. This has been a long journey that has started for me around 2014, when I was looking for things I could do for the project. LibreOffice port was one of those things. It seemed to need so much effort, most people didn’t even want to start. That’s understandable given people were busy developing the OS. However, it’s not the first time someone tried to do it.

The State of Rust on Haiku - July 2018

Blog post by nielx on Thu, 2018-07-05 07:31

The Rust programming language belongs to the category of modern programming languages that aim to provide a reliable and safe alternative to C and C++. In the past few years, few people have been working on getting the compiler, and the other build tools to our platform. And in fact, since Rust 1.0 there have been reasonably working binary packages for building Rust projects on Haiku. With the recent addition of Rust 1.

Finally, we got the register mapping work and they are responsive, we have tested by enabling software reset bit and it has all the default values of registers which are set by Qemu except the present state register and capabilities register. These both should be left unaffected as mentioned in the spec. We are following SD Host specification version 1.00 for now, which also doesn’t support UHS but Qemu seems to be supporting it well.
