Roadmap

Roadmap

This list describes the things that would be needed to create a platform on which an alternative firmware implementation could be provided, roughly in the right order.

• Creating an inventory of the components on the Barracuda board and their functions, and gathering technical information about these componentes where available.

• Find out what the testpads on the Barracuda PCB do - Identifying JTAG and UART would be really helpful here.

• Get a linux (console) shell to work on the current firmware to be able to get info about how the official software connects to the hardware. Memory maps, device drivers, etc

• Figure out which pieces are missing to drive the hardware - Does Reciva provide drivers to all hardware ? Is a bootloader provided ?

• Try to put as much pieces of the provided GPL code together to get a basic OS up and running. Find out how much Reciva added or modified of the original software packages.

• Get all the hardware components working: GPIO, LCD display, LEDs, buttons, usb, network, audio
