DSDP/Restructuring Review

All edits to this page are moderated by the DSDP PMC and EMO.

This document describes the combined Restructuring/Termination review for the DSDP project.

This review is declared successful by the EMO on September 29/2010.

Overview

The Device Software Development Platform raised the awareness of Eclipse to the embedded community. But given the ever decreasing participation in it, it is now time to retire the project and send the pieces to more natural homes.

For each project, one or more responsible individuals are listed. These individuals will, upon success of the review, initiate the required actions (e.g. open a bug).

The Target Communication Framework (TCF) functionality from TM will be carved out and turned into a new project (tools.cdt.tcf).

  • Responsible: Martin Oberhuber
  • Actions before:
    • Complete creation review information in this document
    • Submit IP Log
  • Actions after:
    • Fill out NPPR for TCF
    • Move SVN: /svnroot/dsdp/org.eclipse.tm.tcf/ to /svnroot/tools/org.eclipse.cdt.tcf/

Description

TCF is a vendor-neutral, lightweight, extensible network protocol mainly for communicating with embedded systems (targets). Its most distinguishing feature is that TCF is designed to transparently plug in value-adding servers between the tool and the target. But even without value-add, the protocol has potential to unify lots of currently independent communication links, thus saving resources and making setup and configuration much easier than in current embedded development scenarios.

Scope

To provide a vendor-neutral, lightweight, extensible network protocol primarily intended for communicating with embedded systems (targets).

Relationship to Other Projects

  • ECF

TCF is an protocol and standardized service definitions specialized for communicating with embedded systems. It also provides exemplary peer implementations in C and in Eclipse plug-ins for the protocol. ECF is not that.

Initial Committers

The following current TM committers have been active on TCF. All of them other than Eugene are currently inactive but as the project accelerates these guys have expressed interest in maintaining their committer status.

  • Felix Burton
  • Anna Dushistova
  • Martin Oberhuber
  • Uwe Stieber
  • Eugene Tarassov

Doug Schaefer will be added as a committer to TCF as the project lead for the new project. He will also be contributing to TCF soon.

Initial Contribution

TCF is a de-facto component of the TM project. The TCF functionality from TM will be moved into this project. Specifically, this is:

Interested Parties

Other companies who have expressed interested in participating in TCF:

  • Nokia (Ken Ryall)
  • Freescale (George Stephen)
  • Intel (Ke Liping)

As well the EDC debugger in CDT is already using TCF. Nokia is the main contributor to EDC.

The Rest of TM

  • Responsible: Martin Oberhuber, Tools PMC
  • Actions before: Submit IP Log (one IP Log for all of current TM will suffice)
  • Actions after: see bug 330336 for follow-up actions

The rest of TM should remain and be moved under the Tools project.
