Projects in the topic kernel
The Linux kernel is a free and open-source, monolithic, modular, multitasking, Unix-like operating system kernel.

Upstreaming of mediatek helios board an idea by mbrugger The only Mediatek "hacker" board available is from 96 Boards [1]. Unfortunately up to now there is nearly no mainline support. Idea would be to improve this situation. The idea would be to get the pin-controller merged first and then hopefully most of the other stuff can be just added (fingers crossed...) Updated almost 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
openSUSE/SLE/Mainline U-boot for some not-yet-supported ARM64 boards an idea by ldevulder The Khadas VIM (http://khadas.com/vim/) is an arm64 DIY Set-Top-Box based on Amlogic P212 reference board that use S905X SoC. Updated almost 3 years ago. 7 hacker ♥️. 1 follower. Has no hacker: grab it!
netlink interface for ethtool a project by mkubecek There seems to be an overall consensus that the ioctl interface used by ethtool is a poor design as it's inflexible, error prone and notoriously hard to extend. It should clearly be replaced by netlink and obsoleted. Unfortunately not much actual work has been done in that direction until this project started. Updated over 4 years ago. 4 hacker ♥️.
Help with mainline support for the Mediatek chromebook (MT8173 based) a project by mbrugger Lately the necessary patches to get rudimentary support for the Mediatek chromebook with a mainline kernel got posted. There are some hacks and I'll work on some good solution to get graphics go, at least. Updated almost 5 years ago. 5 hacker ♥️.
Kernel Boot/Testing Framework with LinuxKit a project by vrothberg Problem statement Once a kernel is built, a developer/janitor may want to boot the kernel for various reasons, such as performing simple boot test or running tests and workloads from user space or simply playing around in a shell. However, an easy to use and a descriptive tool to perform those tasks doesn't exist to our knowledge. Updated almost 3 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.
