  • Intake task: parsing a local RSS feed for the RSS/Atom feed reader project.

    Currently, the program parses a local RSS feed and displays it's contents: https://files.catbox.moe/pjqfgp.png

    The target XML file should be placed at `/sys/MEDIA/example.rss`.

    Attached with this post are the program and RSS schema file, along with links to library files.
    The supporting files `asm-xml.inc` and `xml.obj` can be found in the following archives:

  • Intake task: Create two to three ext4 disk images that test various mkfs.ext4 capabilties.
    GSOC task: Write support for ext4 file system.

    Three different ext4 file system images test different features of the ext4 file system: addressing length: 32-bit vs 64-bit, no extents, and dir_index implementation.

    TESTS:

    t071 and t072 check with the file system being 32/64bit.
    t073 makes the image without dir_index implementation and tries to read a file.
    t074 makes the image without extent, and tries to read through a large file.

    These are to be placed inside `umka/test`

    IMAGE GENERATION:

    All the image generation happens inside "ext4.sh". A makefile is provided for leisure, and one can simply run "make clean" and then "make" to make all the test disk images. It is to be placed in `umka/img/`

  • Here is my code for the NVMe driver test task. The task was to enumerate all NVMe devices on the PCI bus and report the capacity of the disk. I'm still currently working on reporting the capacity of the disk, since you have to initialize the controller first before you can send an identify command to the controller, and this requires you to do a lot of reading and setup the appropriate data structures. However, I was able to map the MMIO registers and query important information needed to setup the controller, so I have basically done a fair portion of the initialization work already.

  • GSOC Task: SDL2 Port for KolibriOS
    Test Task: Fixing sound bug of PokeMini: https://github.com/KolibriOS/kolibrios/issues/18

    There is a small bug in PokeMini where closing the program using "X" button of the window, last played in game sound hangs on which continues to play as a single infinite note until the shutdown or reboot of the system. The fix ports the current version of PokeMini in KolibriOS' source code to newlibc as it currently relies on menuetlibc for compiling.

  • Hello, Everyone
    My GSoC task is to write an RSS news reader as a standalone KolibriOS application.
    I was assigned a test task of creating a KolibriOS application which parses the locally stored RSS/XML data and displays it on the application window.

    An Example KolibriOS program was present in OS so I tried to understand the program and figured out how to create programs for KolibriOS.
    I faced many challenges as a beginner but the mentors supported and helped me even with my silly doubts. As a result, I completed my test task. I have attached the Image of the working application.
