Roadmap 2021

[Sebastian Sumpf]

Hi folks,

my main topics for 2020 have been Android pass through support on iMX8,
touch screen and OLED display drivers for the same platform, as well as
LTE modem support for Genode. Last year Genode made great progress where
I especially want to mention the WebEngine and the Falcon Browser as one
of many stand out topics. All in all it is nice to see how Genode grows
more mature with every year and how our insights and knowledge in so
many areas advance. After all, Genode is just a very small company.
People tend to forget that.

For 2021 I want to resume our GPU line of work by starting with the
update of the Mesa library and getting it running on ARM. Audio is
another topic that I want to finally toggle, where any help/input from
experienced developers in this field would be very appreciated.
Additionally I recently started to update our RISC-V support to
privileged ISA spec 1.10  and currently plan to remove the Spike
emulator and replace it with Qemu. Many things may come along the way,
the Pine64 is also a very cool project for example and I want to
experiment with GOA since it seems to be a cool approach to porting 3rd
party software to Genode.

Regards,

Sebastian
