GSoC first week

I start working on OE microblaze support and is kind of tricky,
there are several efforts on updating gcc, binutils, glibc, and
I’m integrating from Xilinx repos since they are the most updated
versions available for microblaze; Still glibc build is failing
due to a mis configuration in binutils; So I have to options,
add a prebuild toolchain in OE or fix glibc; the exact error occurs at
linking the final objects ld complains about “unsupported emulation” to
workaround this there’s an run-time variable that can be used to set the
emulation mode `LDEMULATION` but fails in a later stage, so the error
roots are in binutils configuration.
OE changes are stored at http://gitorious.org/oe-microblaze/oe-microblaze

Xilinx provide me some target platform (ML405, ML507), for testing/validation
one of my concerns was import taxes from Mexican customs, but I provide the
paperwork to claim professional development usage to be extent of pay taxes,
well that’s one good thing of Mexican custom regulations, and I didn’t pay a
single dollar . Thanks John and Grant for making possible to have some
hardware at home, that would free the only single ML507 board from my
school.

From Google every student is still waiting on welcome package and payment
cards, they are estimated to be delivered in two weeks, well lets wait and
see if Google is generous and send us a cool nexus one .

Summer plan

I just receive and email from gsoc program regarding the status of my application, unfortunately my proposal was not accepted, I think that a nice uml diagram was missing, where I could added some details on my proposal on the work that I’m going to do. I can’t think on any thing else missing. Any way I’m still going to work on GstEditor since is part of my project for OOP course that I’m taking.

On the other hand I decide that around August I will be back on the labor force working and continuing with my studies on part time, over the moths I had receive several job proposals and I have certain degree on negotiation for a job where I could get some time to do school work while receiving a paycheck.

Acabo de recibir la respuesta sobre mi proyecto en Gsoc, mi propuesta fue rechazada, lo único que siento que hizo falta en mi reporte fue la inclusión de diagramas uml  donde se plasmaran algunos detalles de la implementaciones que voy a realizar, de cualquier forma voy a continuar trabajando en GstEditor ya que parte del proyecto semestral de la asignatura de POO que estoy cursando.

Por otra parte he decidido que alrededor de Agosto estaré de nuevo participando en el mercado laboral a la par de continuar con mis estudios, en los últimos meses he recibido un buen numero de propuestas laborales, tengo cierto grado de negociación para obtener un trabajo que me permita estudiar medio tiempo y recibir una buena remuneración.
