Hi,

I've uploaded a new version of the efs lib with the gpl license included. You can find it at http://flex.pipos.be/~flecxie/efsl-20050409.tar.bz2

About the DSP: no specific TI binaries are included in the project and we're not planning to distribute any binaries of the library. (code is ansi c)


Thanks!

Hi,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the time to deal with the registration issues.

Regards.

Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

Apoligizes for the delay. We received more requests than usually and got understaffed :/

Before to import your project at Savannah, we ask you to do the licensing job.

In order to release your project properly and unambiguously under the GPL, please place copyright notices and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of every file of source code.

In addition, if you haven't already, please include a copy of the plain text version of the GPL, available from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt, into a file named "COPYING".

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

The GPL FAQ explains why these procedures must be followed.  To learn why a copy of the GPL must be included with every copy of the code, for example, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyMustIInclude.


Do you plan to distribute the documentation? If yes, under what license do you plan to release it? We recommand the GFDL for technical documentation.

Is the DSP support needed?

If yes, just keep in mind that we cannot host binaries if they rely on non-free components, except if they fall under the following exception in the GNU GPL:

"However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable."

If there is nothing specific to DSP in your code then there is nothing to worry about.

Description:
------------
  EFS -- Embedded FileSystem handler.
---------------------------------------

EFS is a FAT16/32-driver (will probably support more filesystems in the future) that can currently be used (béta) on the following architectures:
    - DSP69xx series with SD-card connected to McBSP port.
    - AVR ATMega series with SD-card connected.
    - i386 running GNU/Linux as user-space FAT handler.

The project is written in C by two students of the The Hague University and is ment to be used on various embedded systems. GNU/Linux support is used for debugging, but can also be used as userspace FAT driver.

Currently the project is still in heavy development (2 people working full time on it), so no time was spent licensing etc.

A current cvs-dump can be found at http://flex.usermodelinux.be/~flecxie/efs.tar.bz2

A pdf containing some documentation (written about 2 months ago, so partly out dated) can be found at http://flex.usermodelinux.be/~flecxie/efs_inners.pdf

If you have any more questions, please feel free to mail me at -email is unavailable-


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  No external libraries are used, only the compiler is needed:
- Linux: gcc + libc
- AVR: avr-gcc + avr-libc (https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avr-libc/)
- DSP: Ti Codecomposer (non-free)

When compiling on the DSP, there is also a bios added by the compiler that is non-free.
