Hello, IIO!
This is Nishant Malpani, a fourth-year integrated Master's student,
majoring in Electronics and Communications (ECE) engineering, at
International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore, India
(IIIT-B).
Driven by my thirst to gain knowledge about the Linux kernel and its
various subsystems, I would like to be a part of the IIO community and
receive some insights on how to commence contributing.
Formally, I've done a course on 'Linux Device Driver Development' at my
institute wherein I learnt about the various subsystems in the Linux
kernel of which IIO was one of them. I learnt extensively about IIO
Channels, Triggers, Buffers, Events etc. and further concluded by taking
up MCP3008 ADC as a case-study. I'm familiar with the development
process and initiated my contribution by submitting a naive patch [1]
(although it does need an update). I've also invested some time
completing IIO-related tasks listed on what seems like an outdated page
[2]. I'm aware of the previous conversations undertaken in this mailing
list [3] but I wasn't sure if somebody is already working on it. I'd be
delighted to contribute to any of the open tasks!
Thank you all for your time.
With regards,
Nishant Malpani
