What is GSoC? Google Summer of Code 2015 (GSoC) funds students to work on open source projects for 12 weeks over the summer. Open source organizations apply to participate and those accepted receive funding for one or more students. We now need to collect a list of project ideas on our wiki. We also need mentors to volunteer. http://qemu-project.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015 Project ideas Please post project ideas on the wiki page below. Project ideas should be suitable as a 12-week project that a student fluent in C/Python/etc can complete. No prior knowledge of QEMU/KVM/libvirt internals can be assumed. http://qemu-project.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015 Mentors Please add your name to project ideas you are willing to mentor. In order to mentor you must be an established contributor (regularly contribute patches). You must be willing to spend about 5 hours per week from May 25 to August 21. I have CCed the 8 most active committers since QEMU 2.1.0 as well as the previous libvirt and KVM mentors but everyone is invited.

This leads to the situation that things which work when using the IDE emulation don't work when using the SCSI emulation and vice versa. So this project is for implementing a virtual ATA-to-SCSI bridge in qemu, use this for emulating an IDE ATAPI drive, and merging the missing features from the IDE implementation into the SCSI one. Skill level: intermediate (This would also help to implement advanced features like NCQ autosense or sense data reporting in the ATA emulation. Just in case someone's daft enough trying to implement a ZAC emulation ...). And yes, I'd be willing to mentor it.

I've asked Paolo before if he thought I should try to merge the ATAPI and SCSI code, but he passed on the idea at the time. Might be something a GSoC student could take a stab at, though the maze of SCSI, IDE and ATAPI specs can be a little difficult to navigate at times. If a bridge was designed to replace the current ATAPI code entirely, it would need to have some inter-operability with the AHCI code, which has its own unique quirks that we need to be mindful of. It might wind up being a bit of a tall order, but it could be good fun. --js ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

However, with IDE largely defunct you only have to concentrate on T-13 and T-10, which means you have two reasonably well-defined specs for both sides. Always a good place to start an implementation. > If a bridge was designed to replace the current ATAPI code entirely, > it would need to have some inter-operability with the AHCI code, > which has its own unique quirks that we need to be mindful of. > > It might wind up being a bit of a tall order, but it could be good fun. > That's what I thought, too.
