Apache NuttX

Rust integration on NuttX

The Rust language is gain some momentum as an alternative to C and C++ for embedded system (https://www.rust-lang.org/what/embedded) and it should be very useful to be able to develop NuttX applications using Rust language.

Sometime Yoshiro Sugino already ported the Rust standard libraries, but it was not a complete port and wasn't integrated on NuttX. Anyway this initial port could be used as starting point for some student willing to add official support on NuttX.

Also it needs to pave the way to support developing NuttX driver in Rust and an complement to C drivers.

Micro-ROS integration on NuttX

Micro-ROS (https://micro.ros.org) is a ROS2 support to Microcontrollers. Initially the project was developed over NuttX by Bosch and other EU organizations. Later on they added support to FreeRTOS and Zephyr. After that NuttX support started ageing and we didn't get anyone working to fix it (with few exceptions like Roberto Bucher work to test it with pysimCoder).

Add X11 graphic support on NuttX using NanoX

NanoX/Microwindows is a small graphic library what allow Unix/Linux X11 application to run on embedded systems that cannot support X-Server because it is too big. Add it to NuttX will allow many applications to be ported to NuttX. More importantly: it will allow FLTK 1.3 run on NuttX and that could big Dillo web browser.

TinyGL support on NuttX

TinyGL is a small 3D graphical library created by Fabrice Bellard (same creator of QEMU) designed for embedded system. Currently NuttX RTOS doesn´t have a 3D library and this could enable people to add more 3D programs on NuttX.

Airavata

Local user interaface for Airavata MFT

NOte: This is an issue in github - https://github.com/apache/airavata-mft/issues/114 cross posting in Jira for GSoC purposes. 

Currently, Airavata MFT can be accessed through its command line interface and the gRPC API. However, it is really easy if a Docker desktop-like user interface is provided for a locally running Airavata MFT. The functionalities of such an interface can be summarized as follows

  1. Start / Stop MFT Instance
  2. Register/ List/ Remove Storage endpoints
  3. Access data (list, download, delete, upload) in configured storage endpoints
  4. Move data between storage endpoints
  5. Search data across multiple storage endpoints
  6. Analytics - Performance numbers (data transfer rates in each agent)

We can use ElectonJS to develop this cross-platform user interface. The node.js backend of ElectronJS can use gRPC to connect to Airavata MFT to perform management operations
