I'd also like to offer a tutorial/workshop about hacking NetBSD (on NetBSD,
Linux, macOS as a host). This would basically demonstrate how to set up a
dev environment using my tools and using it to develop some example driver
and testing it on a Raspberry PI or Beaglebone. I'm also happy to answer
people's questions about specific problems they are having -- though it
would be good if they turned those in beforehand, so that I can prepare.
By way ol preparation you should:
- git clone NetBSD-current
- have a development toolchain installed
- have qemu installed
Please check back for updated instruction before the conference.
I've started using Unix and Unix system programming in the mid-80s,
early on implementing a TCP/IP stack on System V R3. I've been a NetBSD
user from day one and a contributor from early on. Finally becoming a
developer in '98 participating in early pkgsrc and kernel development.
My main interests are file system, networking, performance, observability,
containerization, systems automation and system automatability.
I've worked with NetBSD, FreeBSD and OpenBSD and a lot of Linux.
