[Contiki-developers] Announcing Contiki OS port for the Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller Developer Kit D2000

[Andre G. <and...@in...>]

Hi folks,

We are happy to announce a Contiki* OS port for the Intel® Quark™
Microcontroller Developer Kit D2000.

The Intel® Quark™ microcontroller developer kit D2000 is based on the
Intel® Quark™ D2000 SoC and consists of a small form-factor board that
includes flash storage, a 6-axis compass/accelerometer, and a
temperature sensor. It is shield-compatible with Arduino* Uno and
booster-pack. For further information about this board please check
[1].

The port is based on the Intel® Quark™ Microcontroller Software
Interface (QMSI) [2], which is a hardware abstraction layer for Intel®
Quark™ Microcontroller products. QMSI BSP provides several components
that are reused by this port such as the bootstrap code, linker script,
interrupt system, and device drivers. QMSI BSP is an open source project
licensed under the BSD 3-clause license.

The port supports Contiki’s clock module, timers (including rtimer) and
watchdog, as well as C library APIs such as printf and malloc (and their
friends). Contiki applications can access all I/O peripherals available
in Intel® Quark™ D2000 SoC (e.g., i2c, spi, pwm, and gpio), through QMSI
APIs. In platform/quark-d2000-devboard/README.md you can find detailed
information about this port and instructions on how to build, flash and
debug applications.

We believe the port is ready for review by the Contiki community and we
would like to move forward integrating it into Contiki's mainline. We
have created a pull-request [4] to Contiki tree and we are looking
forward to get your feedback!

Except for Travis integration, which we are going to tackle as part of
the upstreaming process, this port follows all of the requirements put
forth by the New Platforms contribution guide [5].

Best regards,

Andre Guedes
