Re: Possible progress on M Platform?
Philipp Tomsich <philipp.tomsich@...>
Chris, The Platforms effort is being reorganized and we'll spin up a task group for RVM-CSI (a source-level abstraction framework) up in the near future. RVM-CSI is very much in focus (for the Software HC's ecosystem efforts), and the goal is to sprint towards a first draft late in the year. The discussions have been going on for a while and led to Alibaba donating their documentation and sources. The plan is to draw inspiration from Alibaba's donated abstraction layer (just as well as what our other members bring to the table), from what exists in competing ecosystems, and from the abstractions standardized in C17 a.k.a. ISO/IEC 9899:2018 (e.g., atomics, mutexes, conditions, threads, memory management) to specify a thin (as in "flexible" and "unintrusive"), best-in-class abstraction with C-language bindings for a self-contained small subset (enough to bring up a platform and handle interrupts) of the platform as phase 1. Follow-on efforts will then add abstractions for additional features of common platforms (e.g. common peripherals, networking, data processing, AI/ML, …) and standardize language bindings for C++ and Rust.
