Marian Buschsieweke 3c5ae563d6

Hauke has stopped working on RIOT for some time now and other
maintainers agreed to step up to take over the steering / contact job
during the VMA. This change replaces Hauke by benpicco and maribu as
contact as agreed upon.

Roadmap

The aim of the roadmap is to identify priority areas of RIOT development & enhancements. For each area, some near-future plans and concrete next steps are indicated. The text and items below are tentative, up for discussion, to be updated by regular pull requests.

Network Stack High layers

(contact/steering: Martine)

ICN stack support clean-up
discuss mid- and long-term plans for network stack maintenance & development (GNRC vs other supported stacks)
revisit network time synchronization
Provide a border router into 6LoWPANs (a 6LBR) that works out of the box in common scenarios:
- in IPv6 networks with working Prefix Delegation (PD)
- in IPv6 networks without working Prefix Delegation (eg. by means of ND Proxying)
- in legacy networks (eg. by means of tunneling)
- with configurable on-by-default fallbacks

Network Stack Low layers

(contact/steering: Peter)

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP): finalize and merge gnrc_ppp

Integrations

(contact/steering: Teufelchen)

Home-Assistant BTHome integration
Home-Assistant integration via MQTT Discovery

Power Modes

(contact/steering: benpicco)

concept to fix shell usage issue while LPM activated
integrate generic power management functions in device driver APIs (netdev, SAUL, ...)
more advanced LPM concepts:
- sleeping for short periods (in cases where it is not feasible to switch to the idle thread and back) -> mitigate active waiting

Peripheral drivers

(contact/steering: maribu)

Timers

(contact/steering: kaspar030, benpicco, maribu)

cleanup and unification of low-level timer interfaces (timer, rtt, rtc)
implement capture mode

SPI

introduction of spi_slave interface
transition to spi_clk_t being the frequency in Hz, not an enum constant, to allow arbitrary frequencies
- most implementations have been ported
allow a way to detect the actual frequency an SPI bus is running at
- see https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/pull/16727 for one proposal

I2C

introduction of i2c_slave interface
- see https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/issues/19560 for a discussion

GPIO

(contact/steering: gschorcht, maribu)

add a port-based, feature-rich, thread-safe GPIO API
- GPIO LL seems to fit the bill so for
- many MCUs still need an implementation
add a high level API that unifies external and internal GPIOs on top

ADC

(contact/steering: benpicco, kfessel, gschorcht, maribu)

extend / replace the ADC API to allow advanced use cases
- selecting reference voltages (think: multimeter app)
- differential inputs
- fast (ideally DMA supported) sampling (think: a digital oscilloscope app)
- unify external and internal ADCs
- see https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/pull/13247 for one proposal

Software Updates

(contact/steering: Emmanuel)

Modularize to provide toolbox supporting other image storing (e.g. support external flash), transport (other than CoAP), crypto (e.g. secure element).
riotboot support for architectures other than Cortex-M

Documentation

(contact/steering: Emmanuel)

Write and publish more RDMs

Low-level Hardware Support

(contact/steering: Alex)

radio support for TI SensorTag
radio support for Silab Thunderboard

Testing

(contact/steering: Kaspar)

automated network functionality tests (e.g. RPL + UDP/PING tests through border router, multi-hop) in IoTLAB dev sites?
