Re: [Xen-devel] Getting started with Xen Project

[Aashaka Shah <aashaka96@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay. I have a basic knowledge of x86 assembly language. I will need to get familiar with coding in OVMF.

I feel that with some assignments and resources (like a minor bug in some OVMF code, or tutorial links) and guidance, a prospective mentee might reach the level required by the project. I would like to know the views of the people looking into the project.

Regards,

Aashaka

Hello,

Anthony (who I've added to the Cc) already started looking into this, so I
think you should better coordinate with him regarding this project.

Please note that this project will involve quite a lot of low-level coding
in OVMF, and some knowledge of x86 assembly is required, again Anthony will
be able to provide more insight, and whether this is still a suitable
project for OPW or not.

Roger.
