Rootfs build factory
by Shubham Mathur 26 Apr '15

SIR basically I want 2 say u that when our binary reaches our board (ARM) there are few instructions which I will code in 16 bit and store it in the memory. These instructions are shorthand for 32 bit coading because our board is of 32 bit.When my binaries will get over the board I will pass them through that memory and as soon as they go from that path they will get to know where they have to go like some patch of binary goes to display some will goes to input output pins etc. I am coading in 16 bit because of memory problem in such boards. Generally it have 512mb(raspberry pi) so to have good memory space I will code in 16 bit which are shorthand for 32 bit coading. This 16 bit coading will be expanded to 32 bit. This thing I want to say you sir. Sent from my iPhone

ping From: s_gowtham(a)live.com To: centos-devel(a)centos.org CC: centos-gsoc(a)centos.org Subject: Getting started on contributing to CentOS Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2015 18:32:51 +0530 Hi, I have been using CentOS for quite a while now and would like to switch from the user to a contributor. kbsingh mentioned on the ilug mailing list that this was a good time to get acquainted with the community because of the influx of new users due to the Google Summer of Code event. Looking at the Summer of Code ideas page, (http://wiki.centos.org/GSoC/2015/Ideas ), the one about writing a Lightweight Cloud instance contextualisation tool seemed like a good place to start. How can I start with it ? -sg

Rootfs buid factory

Respected sir, I researched on our project more and try to understand that our ARM board works on 32bit and our coading will be in 16 bit. Sir I come up with the idea that .First our file will get downloaded it means that binary is firstly storing in memory then as ARM BOARD is already running a linux kernel I will develop a port which will convert 16bit to 32bit by using 7 registers and sp,lr and PC registers Like on total I want to code a instruction set consists of 16-bit instructions that act as a compact shorthand for a subset of the 32-bit instructions of the standard ARM.the processor will expand the 16-bit shorthands to 32-bit code. Sir please tell me wether I am right or wrong I am eagerly waiting for your reply :) I hope you can understand my excitement !! Sent from my iPhone

Xen in a Box Proposal
by Gautam Malu 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

Hi everyone, I am a masters student at IIIT- Hyderabad, India. I have submitted my GSOC proposal for Xen in a Box. I would be great to have some suggestions especially about the porting of xapi on CentOS Abstract: My project goal is to deliver set of scripts preferrably in bash, along with all necessay packages to convert standared installers ISOs into customized ISOs which install CentOS 6 + xen + libvirt + 2 pv VMs running + network configuration. I also plan to deliver xapi rpms which can be used to build a custom installer ISO to install CentOS 6 + xen + xapi. Full proposal: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/public/google/gsoc2015/gautam_m… Best regards, Gautam Malu

Respected sir, As per your guidelines I understand that yes that port effort is more easier for our project. It's like extending the branch of linux kern and creating a tunnel like thing from which are binaries will get transported and as soon as they reach to our board they are converted to binaries fir that board by keeping in mind the concept of swaping binaries.Sir I thought fatelf will work for us but you are absolutely correct ,it's like building a new distro.Thank you very much for identifying my mistake and help me to improve my approach Once again again thank you very much sir so nyc of you . Sir for browsers I thought that they will not work more accurately because of the binary disturbances . So I just thought to improve it . I don't know sir wether I am right orr wrong . Please guide me and we will take CENTOS to greater heights because sir after this also I want to work for CENTOS I want to learn , explore and deliever my best to CENTOS. I will not let your hard work down sir. Thanking you Sent from my iPhone

Respeced sir, This is SHUBHAM MATHUR.Iwant to discuss for my project proposal in GSOC 2015.i just want to add more information about this. Before starting my work i want to discuss with you about the problem that centOS doesn't works on ARM boards like raspberryy pi,intel breakout board etc. So we have to develop “FATelf” patches for centOS and. “FATelf” is a teqnique that is also known as univrsal binary system. this type of tool can help us in installing centOS for various hardware board. we can just upload our rootfs and various updates in it and as soon as it downloads and install and works our projects gets done. But bfor that we have to make partition in our harddisk or sd card on which architecture we are going to booy. *MY DEDLINES FOR THIS PROJECT* *week(1-2)* Study “FATelf” in detail and making a systematic idea of work that how to give shape to my work. *week(2-4)* work on unpacking these files with “FATelf” for this i have to make a tool which converts file system to “FATelf” *week(4-6)* if it works then its fine otherwise more work on it. if it works then try to make a separate branch in kernel which converts that filesystem to “fatELF” the benifit for this is we dont have to take that tool again again for installation purpose. *week(6-8)* Work on kernel branching only otherwise work on tool only. *week(8-11)* Finalising my project and submitting to you NOTE:- I will definetly try to implement plugins for google chrome and firefox for arm boards. thanking you

Respected sir, Basically you want a cross debootstrap (like Debian )for CENTOS which can be stored in any of the sub folder of other OS and we need not have to install it and just access to the CENTOS repository . It can be use to create roofs for different architecture. Please correct me sir if I am wrong. Sent from my iPhone
