<p>coala is a modular and language-agnostic tool for performing static code analysis. The aim of coala is to make static code analysis easier for the users. However, getting started with coala for a user requires prior knowledge about different bears coala has (users may get confused among lots of available options), how to create a correct coafile, what values to provide for settings, avoid duplicity among the bears, what bear-dependencies to install, etc.</p> <p>coala-quickstart is a tool with an aim to help users to quickly get started with coala by doing all the boilerplate work. It generates a .coafile (coala's configuration file) that is tailored to the project.</p> <p>The ultimate goal of the project is to make coala-quickstart generate a more tailored coala configuration file with less user effort and time.</p> <p>The primary objectives of the project are:</p> <ol> <li>Develop a mechanism to extract information of interest to coala like setting values from some common kinds of project files like <code>Gruntfile.js</code>, <code>Gulpfile.js</code>, etc.</li> <li>Make coala-quickstart include relevant bears to the project in the generated coafile.</li> <li>Improving the user interface, increasing automation and adding some minor features.</li> </ol>

This project intends to introduce LLVM support for PRU, to enable us to use clang rather than pru-gcc. As Clang provides extremely clear and simple diagnoses and is considerably faster and requires less memory, it will be beneficial. The LLVM support will offer greater tooling, compatibility, and optimization. I will therefore build the LLVM Backend for PRU.

<p>The project focuses on improving coala's dependency management for installing bear and their dependencies on multiple platforms. Specifically, the core focus is on trying to automate dependency management using Ansible playbooks and roles. Additionally, improving the existing dependency management API by introducing a <code>PlatformRequirement</code> class for system specific package managers and fixing and improving the exiting cib install bears tool which uses the dependency management API by adding complete test coverage.</p>

Bela is an open hardware and software platform for creating beautiful interaction with sensors, sound and it is designed for artists, musicians, researchers and makers, Bela brings the power of ultra-low latency interactive audio and sensors to digital systems. Bela Platform uses the Bela software which is a customised Debian distribution including a custom xenomai kernel, minimal clutter, and custom systemd configurations and It takes advantage of features of the BeagleBone computers and can achieve extremely fast audio and sensor processing times. Bela Image development repo is heavily based and which was initially inspired by Beagleboard Image-builder scripts. Currently, the Beagle board Image development repo diverged greatly from a common functionalities of building Images. Now, there is a requirement to "rebase" the functionalities of the Bela Image builder repo to the Beagleboard Image builder one. As the two codebases are drastically different. This project is to Improve the maintainability of the Bela Image development by adding the functionalities of the Bela Image builder repo to the BeagleBoard Image builder repo.

<p>GitMate.io is an automation tool for developers. While it works well, there are a number of plugins which saves a lot of time of our community(for example automatically close PR's from master). Many of them are general plugins, which are required by every org, but we need more plugins which support coala development workflow(Like gitmate coala linter plugin). This project adds more automations and plugins like auto-review, auto-reject PR’s, assign, mark plugins, etc.</p>

<p>This idea is aimed to improve the experience of Bone101 to make the most use of it to be friendly to novice developers, allowing them to work with BBUI inside tutorials, write python code beside Javascript, and discover new experience of Bone101 in Cloud9 IDE.</p>

<h4>GitMate for all!</h4> <p>This time with user configurable plugins!</p> <h3>About the product</h3> <p><strong>GitHub</strong>, <strong>GitLab</strong> and <strong>BitBucket</strong> support webhooks for common events like opening/closing/commenting on Merge Requests, creating Issues, etc. These webhooks could be configured for automated response using their own API's for comments, tests/integrations, etc. <strong>GitMate</strong> merely acts as a tunnel for these events and responds accordingly. The interface for these API's is held by its wrapper library, IGitt.</p> <h3>Aim of the project</h3> <p>This project is aimed at extending the support for <strong>GitMate</strong> to <strong>GitLab</strong> and <strong>BitBucket</strong> repositories. This adds up to unified and automated code analysis and maintenance on the big three code hosting platforms.</p> <h3>Implementation</h3> <p>This project consists of implementing <strong>GitLab</strong> and <strong>BitBucket</strong> interfaces in <strong>IGitt</strong>, following the already implemented <strong>GitHub</strong>'s convention, while simultaneously creating webhook responders and tasks for the same on <strong>gitmate-2</strong>.</p> <p>Extending plugins is quite easy on <strong>gitmate-2</strong> following <code>gitmate_testplugin</code> as an example, thanks to its plugin-based architecture.</p>

<p>The idea behind the project is to make Xen hypervisor available and easy to use on beagleboard-x15. This implementation will allow users to experiment on embedded virtualization and in related fields like automotive, critical systems prototyping and processor's resources sharing. It might also provide very interesting possibilities for heterogeneous resources' utilization. The most interesting outcome is the availability of open-source virtualization on top of the open-source hardware.</p>

<p>The goal of project meta-review is to track emoji responses to review comments. These responses would be collected, processed and displayed. This project builds a meta-review system on the community site and gh-board to display score ranking statistics and meta-reviews in need, respectively, and encourage people to do meta-review.</p>

<p>This project is part of adding the 'aspect' functionality to coala-bears.</p> <p>Through this functionality coala users will no longer have to worry about searching for the bear or remembering the name of the bear appropriate for their work. They will be able to fix their code with the help of an ‘aspect’, which is nothing but a keyword that relates to the action they want the bear to perform on their code.</p> <p>This project aims at adding the aspect support to at least five more bears. Plus having properly defined and documented aspects for the same bears. After this project, these bears will get executed by using their respective aspects.</p>

<p>Bit error ratio testers are used to test the quality of signal trans-reception. They are routinely used to test boards with high-speed serial links and tune parameters so that the medium fidelity is maximized. Integrated Bit Error Rate Tester (IBERT) LogiCore is one such tool from Xilinx and is designed for testing the physical layer transmission (PMA specifically). This project aims to develop an open source equivalent of the Xilinx LogiCore which incorporates most features as detailed in its datasheet. Independent modules will be coded in python using Migen framework and libraries from LiteX will be used to prepare the communication modules, bridges, and host connections.</p>

<p>Many applications require mechanisms for high speed, real time and continuous data acquisition from a sensor that is essentially an ADC. Most hobbyists would want to use simple devices, rather than high end converters with differential serial interfaces to communicate as these high end devices can be expensive. The typical serial data communication protocols used for this are somewhat limited in terms of speed, while parallel data communication definitely has an advantage of higher speed data transfers.</p> <p>This GSoC project aims to utilize the two PRUs present in the PRUSS2 subsystem and their low latency architecture to get a fast, generic, parallel analog converter interface, in the form of parallel bus, ready for various applications. The project will provide a ready to use firmware, user-space library, kernel driver, and the subsystem to manage all the parallel data transactions. This will further allow developers to build some cool applications like function generators, oscilloscopes, voltmeter etc.</p>

<p>The idea, here, is to integrate <strong>pyflakes-enhanced AST</strong> into coala as a <strong>metabear</strong> which can then be used to develop various plugins. The second part of the project involves redesigning flake8 plugins <strong>flake8-future-import</strong> and <strong>flake8-builtins</strong> in such a way that they use pyflakes-enhanced AST over python AST. Finally, a wrapper is to be created which supplies a python AST to flake8 plugins so that they work as it is.</p>

BeagleMind is an AI-powered documentation copilot for BeagleBoard that uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and tool calling to assist contributors and developers. The assistant retrieves precise, context-aware answers from a vector database built from official BeagleBoard documentation, ensuring accurate and citation-backed support. With integrated tool-use capabilities, it can help users explore documentation, generate code, and automate development tasks. The MVP will be released as a Python package on the Python Package Index (PyPI), providing a lightweight command-line interface for seamless access. By streamlining access to technical knowledge and tools, BeagleMind will reduce friction in the development process and empower the BeagleBoard community.

<p>Improvements to the corobo project enhancing its security, features and usability of coala’s devops bot.</p>

<p>This project is about adding a verification process for the pull requests made to coala. There are many special types of commit messages that should only be used in conjunction with patches containing a special type of content. Such commits should be detected, and allowed or disallowed based on configuration settings in .coafile.</p>

The project aims to enhance and upstream the existing wpanusb and bcfserial drivers in Linux to meet upstream quality standards. Currently, several key driver operations are missing, such as listen before talk and setting frame retries. Preliminary sketches exist but are non-functional pending corresponding changes in the Zephyr firmware side. The project will also add the ability to read the device's permanent extended address, support generic radio configuration (including band, channels, and power levels), and provide comprehensive querying of radio properties. In addition, improvements are required to accommodate upcoming features like management frames and active/passive scanning. This effort is aimed at enabling seamless interoperation between the radio and Zigbee protocols while ensuring support for both 2.4GHz and SubGHz operations, ensuring that the solution meets upstream quality standards and is maintainable over the long term.

<p>Gitmate, a git workflow management bot created by coala, hasn't been actively maintained in the last 3 years. My project aims to update it and bring it back to active use for the coala community. I plan to undertake various improvements to Gitmate as well as IGitt, the underlying library that powers Gitmate's git operations.</p> <p>My primary goal is to set up Gitmate for the coala community. I will also upgrade both Gitmate and IGitt to the latest API versions of Github, Gitlab and Jira and add support for the latest python versions by upgrading the dependencies. Along with this, I will update various aspects of the documentation of both these projects, improve testing, and ensure that the Continuous Integration setup is in perfect condition. The last phase of my project will involve merging three pull request plugins into a combined plugin and improving various pull request events. Throughout the project, I will work on feedback from the coala community and try my utmost best to improve their experience with using Gitmate.</p>

<p>Bitbanging an SPI or/an I2C device in Linux leads to a lot of problems.It consumes a lot of valuable CPU cycles.And since Linux is an non-preemptive OS(And not an RTOS),once we start bitbanging,other important tasks that require CPU time would suffer.Thus,there are a lot of software overheads in doing the same. To avoid this on the BBB,we could offload the task of bitbanging I2C,SPI,UART, to the PRU.The PRU is a separate core and,hence,not affected by the Linux Scheduler. Hence the motivation for exposing the PRU as an I2C,SPI,UART device comes from the fact that they would be no software overheads in doing it and hence,we would gain extra serial interfaces without wasting valuable CPU cycles in bitabanging.</p> <p>This project involves writing Device Tree Overlays,Device Drivers and PRU firmware code for Bitbanging I2C,SPI and UART.</p>

<p>To develop an analyzing routine at least for python and java that will find all documentation strings in a file, parse them into specific groups and check them against a specified documentation style given by the user. The functionality can be extended so that the analyzing routine provides a patch that re-formats the documentation correctly, checks for grammatical errors (eg: checking parameter’s description for imperative present tense) and perform other aesthetical fixes (i.e capitalization, sentence termination with a period).</p>
