Title : Re: Contribution to Universal Flash Storage driver
 
Hello Jaeyoon,

Thank you for your email!


I and one of my colleagues here at the FreeBSD Foundation reviewed your email and are very interested in your ideas.

One of our colleagues is on PTO last week and this week and we would like to consult with them about who else in the community may be active/interested in this area.

When they return next week, we will be meeting to discuss and I or one of my colleagues will reach out to you with more information and some suggested next steps.

Best regards,

Hi,
 
I would like to ask if I can contribute to the development of the
Universal Flash Storage driver on FreeBSD.
 
In the 'FreeBSD 15.0 Planning' document below, a Universal Flash
Storage driver is listed under Needs, and I was wondering what the
current status is.

I would also be interested to hear from loos, who is the owner of
that task.
 
Universal Flash Storage is mainly used in flagship smartphones, and
recently it is also being used in low-power laptops based on ARM as
well as Intel x86 due to Intel's UFS controller (e.g., Intel N100 
and Snapdragon laptop).
As the use of Universal Flash Storage expands, I believe there will
be a demand to use Universal Flash Storage in FreeBSD.
 
I am currently a committer on Fuchsia OS and have been contributing
to the development of the Universal Flash Storage driver.
Fuchsia OS UFS driver:
- https://cs.opensource.google/fuchsia/fuchsia/+/main:src/devices/block/drivers/ufs/
- https://fuchsia-review.googlesource.com/q/owner:j_yoon.choi@samsung.com
 
If you are already working on it, is it possible to share the
repository?
If not, I would like to implement it based on Fuchsia OS's Universal
Flash Storage Code, which is under the same BSD license.
 
Thanks,
Jaeyoon
