Project Abstract
The Posix Asynchronous I/O (AIO) Implementation project aims to enhance the compliance of the RTEMS real-time operating system with the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) standards. By refining and completing the implementation of the Asynchronous I/O interface (AIO), the project seeks to improve the portability and flexibility of RTEMS, enabling developers to write applications that can be executed on various platforms.
Project Scope
The project scope includes refining and completing the implementation of the Asynchronous I/O interface (AIO) in RTEMS. Currently, the implementation lacks some methods and functionalities. The project will focus on:
- Refactoring and completing the implementation of aio_fsync() and aio_return() methods.
- Implementing missing methods such as io_listio() and aio_suspend().
- Enhancing the AIO processing to improve readability and efficiency.
