Checkpoining and Prague

Development archive

Hello RIOT developers!

I am a new research engineer at Inria, CITI Lab Lyon``, working with Tanguy Risset and Guillaume Salagnac.

My main line of work will be to integrate and investigate (transparent) checkpointing to RIOT. For now we use the MSP430FR5969 platform (see ) but we plan to include / switch to RISC-V in future. Maybe a port of our checkpointing to RISC-V would be a valid topic for the hackathon? Since some of you will also be in Prague this weekend I was wondering if you have time for a chat about the best way to approach checkpointing and if and how it might get merged into RIOT. Further, we are interested in use cases which might benefit from transparent or explicit checkpointing. Maybe someone is available tonight for a talk over a beer? Kind regards Gero --

Hi Gero

For now we use the MSP430FR5969 platform (see [https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/pull/11012](https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/pull/11012)) but we plan to include / switch to RISC-V in future. Maybe a port of our checkpointing to RISC-V would be a valid topic for the hackathon?

Interesting topic!

The IETF hackathon is typically more about network protocol stuff but since checkpointing is indirectly tied with sleeping node management, it’s not completely out of scope and I guess you will indeed find some RIOTers to talk to. Join the SUIT / RIOT tables, you’ll meet people.

See you tomorrow,

Emmanuel
