NOTE: We currently plan to move both the wiki and the documentation to Github and shutdown the project page
|
|
|
|
|
instead. We'll keep you updated on this as progress is being made.

## Getting started

In order to contribute to uOFW, you need advanced knowledge in MIPS ASM and C. Some good MIPS ASM
|
2013-03-17 23:08:53 +00:00
|
|
|
online resources can be found [on the MIPS company page](http://www.mips.com/products/product-materials/processor/mips-architecture/).

|
In addition, there is a nice MIPS runtime simulator and debugger which can be found at:

The next step is to improve your reverse engineering skills (if needed). We suggest reading [this excellent guide]
|
|
|
|
|
(http://psnpt.com/joomla/index.php/articles/39-tutorials) about reverse engineering for the PSP.

## Repository structure
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-03-17 22:59:19 +00:00
|
|
|
uOFW's Github repository contains one 'master' branch and several sub-branches.
|
2013-03-17 22:40:54 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The master branch is aimed to contain only tested and working code (in fact, it should contain working modules).
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that this is not entirely the case right now as we still need to test, and fix, some of the code in the
|
|
|
|
|
master branch due to the past repository structure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then there are sub-branches which are aimed to each represent a module currently being worked on. Such a branch
|
|
|
|
|
contains unfinished, untested and undocumented code about the module it is named after. Once such a branch contains
|
|
|
|
|
finished, documented code (that is, the module has been finished reverse-engineering) it will be merged into
|
|
|
|
|
the 'master' branch.
|
2013-03-17 22:59:19 +00:00
|
|
|
Currently, there are three sub-branches: [clockgen] (https://github.com/uofw/uofw/tree/clockgen),
|
|
|
|
|
[memlmd](https://github.com/uofw/uofw/tree/memlmd), [power](https://github.com/uofw/uofw/tree/power)

While you reverse-engineer parts of the PSP's kernel, you may will find yourself in a position
|
|
|
|
|
where you would like to know more about how Operating Systems work in general. We suggest to check
|
2013-03-17 23:08:53 +00:00
|
|
|
out [this webpage](http://wiki.osdev.org/Expanded_Main_Page).
