Hi all My name is David Herrmann and I am a student at Uni-Tuebingen in Germany. I got accepted with my GSoC project at Bluez and will develop a kernel-driver for the Nintendo Wiimote in the next few months with the help of my tutor (Gustavo Padovan). The Project: The Nintendo Wiimote may be known to many of you. It is a bluetooth device with several I/O ports: buttons, rumble (force feedback), speaker, infrared-cam, accelerometer, leds and an extension port. There are some known libraries which implement few features of the wiimote. However, all these libraries suffer from several restrictions like no asynchronous API, no auto-reconnection, limited functionality, etc... My intention is to write a kernel-driver which implements all these features on kernel-side with a clean API using as much kernel-infrastructure as possible. Integrating the driver into bluez is the only way to support real auto-reconnection and fast audio/infrared transfers. You may watch my progress on: https://github.com/dvdhrm/xwiimote If you have suggestions/questions, I am really glad to hear from you via: #bluez (dvdhrm) or email. About Me: I am 20 years old and an undergraduate from Tübingen/Germany. I develop IRC server-software since 3 years for the OnlineGamesNet (http://wiki.onlinegamesnet.net) in cooperation with Undernet and GameSurge. Currently, I try to get into kernel development and I thought GSoC would be a great opportunity to do so. Besides, I love working on 3D renderers and multimedia stuff. I am really looking forward to the next four months and hope that it will be a great and of course productive time.
