1.2     ! wiki        1: # Jonathan Kollasch
        !             2: 
        !             3: ## Unfinished Projects
        !             4: 
        !             5: ### x86 UEFI kernel loader
        !             6: Building this for x64 UEFI requires the `ms_abi` function attribute introduced in GCC 4.4 or so.
        !             7: This project uses Intel UEFI headers and some existing FreeBSD work.
        !             8: Needs more work and cleanup, also toolchain updates.
        !             9: Work has been done using the OVMF BIOS images for Qemu.
        !            10: 
        !            11: ### bcm47xx for evbmips
        !            12: Boots multiuser on NFS root, needs more work and cleanup.
        !            13: This project is on hold until there's a miniature userland that fits in 4-8MiB flash storage devices, on a flash-oriented file system.
        !            14: [[!template id=man name="bce" section="4"]] and [[!template id=man name="bwi" section="4"]] would need refactoring to be bus-independent.
        !            15: 
        !            16: ### Conexant PCI DTV driver
        !            17: I have some code for 23880-3 and 887 host interfaces.
        !            18: This type of hardware is hard to find freely available docs for.
        !            19: Tuner/demod drivers from Linux could be ported, but would still be GPLed.
        !            20: Probably better to keep these drivers in userland.
        !            21: 
        !            22: Should try to coordinate with what FreeBSD is doing: <http://wiki.freebsd.org/HDTV>.
        !            23: 
        !            24: ### Memory-mapped PCI config access on x86
        !            25: Still need to figure out how pcitag_t will work for a 3rd mode that can't be switched on until after ACPI is initialized.
        !            26: Existing code I have assumes that no tags are generated until mmconf is turned on, which is not a reasonable assumption to make.
        !            27: 
        !            28: ## Possible Projects
        !            29: ### AMD PowerNow/Cool'n'Quiet states loaded from ACPI tables
