Hi Joel, I've taken the group off as I'm not a member. > A group of computer science undergraduates and I are interested in contributing to the usability of Fedora Linux on the Raspberry Pi 4. > > I was a part of this group as an undergrad and we developed a compatibility layer for translating RPi.GPIO syntax into calls to libgpiod. It is currently available on PyPi and under review for inclusion in Fedora: > https://github.com/underground-software/RPi.GPIO2 > https://pypi.org/project/RPi.GPIO2/ This is a great start but ultimately it needs to be integrated with the upstream RPi.GPIO project because there's literally 1000s of documents, blog posts, paper books that reference that so for it to be able to be used without having to update all of those having the support upstream in the original project is the only easy way without having to go and edit all of those docs. > The maintainer of the (broken) RPi.GPIO fedora package agreed to obsolete it in favor of our new package, which is a drop in replacement for RPi.GPIO (hence the 2), however I have not heard from him since September. Have you had any engagement with upstream (not Fedora) maintainer of RPi.GPIO? > Anyway, we are looking for a new project or area of Fedora on the Raspberry Pi to improve over the upcoming semester. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have a number of ideas how high/low end sort of projects are you interested in? Is kernel or other low level stuff of interest? Is there particular areas that the group is interested in?
