Great! I have written two applications I will submit next week. Here
are both abstracts:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Network support
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During Summer of Code 2008 I will (when I am accepted) implement
networking support for GRUB 2. This will make it possible to netboot
from GRUB 2. In order to make this possible I will have to implement
a TCP/IP stack and some GRUB commands. The following features will be
implemented as part of this project:
- Ethernet
- IPv4
- UDP
- DHCP
- TFTP
- ifconfig
- Multiplatform and easy to port
- Debuggable in grub-emu using TUN/TAP
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USB Support
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During Summer of Code 2008 I will (when I am accepted) implement USB
support for GRUB 2. After finishing this project, GRUB 2 will support
(at least) one host controller, mass storage devices and USB
keyboards.
- Generic USB interfaces
- Host controller driver (OHCI, UHCI or EHCI)
- USB Mass-storage support
- HID support for USB keyboards
