[Avr-libc-corelib] Why not consider also other libs than Procyon?

[Bernard Fouché]

Hi List.

A while back, I asked Harald Kipp (NutOS maintainer) if it would be 
possible to take some code from NutOS and include it in avr-libc. His 
answer was 'yes'. At that time I was mainly considering time related 
functions and not drivers (and had no time to do the job :-( ). NutOS 
already has good drivers (for instance a good I2C driver interrupt 
driven), Harald answers to emails and licensing should not be an issue. 
Unfortunately I don't have any time to spare for this new 'corelib', so 
if someone of the 'corelib' project wants to contact Harald things could 
go faster than staying focused only on Procyon.

Other sources could be Arduino (however I never used this project, so I 
don't know about drivers) and TinyOS.

(BTW, I reworked a few month ago John Regehr's stack.pl script (from 
TinyOS)  to calculate stack usage of an application compiled with 
gcc-4.X, however John and I had also no time to perform more tests with 
the updated script (but in my opinion it works rather well and correctly 
locates patterns produced by the compiler). Could this be part of a set 
of tools provided with 'corelib'? If someone wants the updated script...)

Regards,
