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

virtual wifi adapter in qemu an idea by lnussel one of the top features a distribution must always ship in a working state is wireless. Yet we have no way to test it in an automated way. To be able to do that via openQA we need qemu to emulate a wireless adapter. Whether it's emulating existing hardware or implements some virtio device that only works on Linux doesn't matter. Updated almost 5 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
Support for the SMBus ARP protocol a project by jdelvare The SMBus standard specifies an address resolution protocol (SMBus ARP.) It has two key features : Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.
ALSA Pure Digital Power Amplifier a project by duwe Building on top of Rouslan Dimitrov's Microcontroller Class D Amplifier, I developed the idea to feed the power amplifier with PCM data directly. Rouslan does some dithering and noise shaping, but I'm convinced that proper interpolation would sound better. The ATtiny is too slow to do even cubic interpolation so I'll move that into the host. Updated over 2 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.
Implement BREAK for pseudo-terminals a project by ptesarik This will greatly enhance the usefulness of QEMU virtual serial ports, because the Linux kernel interprets a break on the serial console as a SysRq, but there is currently no way to pass this signal over a pseudo-terminal. Updated over 2 years ago. 5 hacker ♥️.
make openSUSE working on Sony Xperia Tablet Z a project by sleep_walker Look once again on Xperia Tablet Z and try to have there openSUSE running natively as alternative operating system. Updated over 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.
Generate branches in kernel.git and kernel-source.git trees to match provided kernel PTFs an idea by sleep_walker Current status Updated over 5 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
SMBIOS 3.0 support in dmidecode an invention by jdelvare On February 12th, 2015, the DMTF released version 3.0.0 of the System Management BIOS Reference Specification. This update isn't just adding enumerated values to existing structures, as previous updates did. It is also introducing a new entry point format which allows for larger tables and structures. Support for this needs to be added to dmidecode. Updated over 5 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.
[ARM] Bootstrap ILP32 on AArch64 a project by algraf Some customers are still stuck in a world of 32bit. On ARM64, we have two options for those poor folks: Updated over 5 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️.
arm64 set-top-box based workstation a project by mbrugger Tronsmart has a Rockchip rk3368 based set-top-box [1]. Updated over 2 years ago. 7 hacker ♥️.
Capturing FC frames with wireshark a project by ptesarik AFAIK, wireshark is the best Linux tool for analyzing network traffic. Primarily intended for Ethernet networks, there is now also support for very different protocols (e.g. USB). Sadly, there is no support for fibre channel, most likely because there is even no infrastructure in the kernel. Updated over 5 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️.
Make Intel baytrail based device(s) work better with openSUSE a project by mkubecek Recently I became a (not very proud) owner of Acer Aspire Switch 10E, a small notebook/tablet convertible based on Intel baytrail platform. Replacing preinstalled (32-bit!) Windows 8.1 with (64-bit) openSUSE proved more challenging than expected, mostly because the device is haunted by a 32-bit UEFI so that it took me a week to make it boot without an external USB flash disk. Updated over 5 years ago. 5 hacker ♥️.
update+fix samsung exynos/arndale arm board boot a project by bmwiedemann We had old arndale images working, but those were based on openSUSE-12.x which is now long obsolete and bad (e.g. missing security updates). Updated over 7 years ago. No love.
Cuddle the i2c-i801 kernel driver a project by jdelvare The i2c-i801 kernel driver (for SMBus controller on most x86 Intel systems) has a lot of pending upstream patches from various contributors. There are bug fixes, clean-ups and new features. Without proper reviewing and merging work, most of the effort is likely to be lost. Updated over 7 years ago. No love.
Make Tumbleweed work on the GPD Win a project by aplazas The GPD Win is a Nintendo 3DS XL sized PC featuring a keyboard and gaming controls. Having openSUSE working on it would be great, unfortunately Tumbleweed doesn't work at all on it and Leap 42.2 is lacking many important features. Updated over 5 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.
Secure keyboard an idea by mwilck This idea was inspired by the recent discussion on the "talk" mailing list about the (in)security of the German ID card. The Chaos Computer Club and other researchers claim that the ID card is insecure. Actual attacks that have been demonstrated are based on keyloggers. Updated almost 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
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 over 2 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 over 2 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.

perf-bench ipc a project by dbueso The state of the art of sysv/posix ipc benchmarking is a combination of ad-hoc programs scattered over the internet. While some mechanisms, such as sysv semaphores, have a lot of coverage, others really lack (message queues), and some are simply non-existent; albeit some of the legacy flavors we aren't too concerned with, other than them being functionally correct. Updated over 5 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️. 2 followers.
work on sunxi a64 cpufreq driver (for teres-1, pine64) an idea by mbrugger With the teres-1 [1] laptop we have a first arm64 device we could use as end-users. Much work to run mainline kernel + u-boot was done already. But power consumption of the laptop is not optimal (~2 hours of battery life time). Updated over 3 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️. 3 followers. Has no hacker: grab it!
Out-of-the-box SPD support an invention by jdelvare In order to see the SPD (detailed memory information) data, the user currently has to manually load the needed kernel driver. Which driver to load depends on the memory type. Depending on the driver user, the devices may even have to be instantiated manually and this is a non-trivial multi-step task. Plus you need to be root to do it. Updated over 3 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 2 followers.

DRM driver for USB-based SiS graphics cards a project by tdz Back in the late 90s to early 2000s, SiS graphics chips were fairly common and found in many low-end devices.
