Hello,

I've written a driver for the g.USBAmp which runs in linux and I was wondering what would be the best way to submit it?

I've been through this guide: http://openvibe.inria.fr/contribution-rules/ so hopefully everything is correct in terms of coding conventions and so on. I've also prepared a git diff dump for all the changes necessary outside of /contrib/plugins/server-drivers/ and a .zip file for driver itself.

I can upload those two files here if you'll give me privileges to attach files or if there's a better way to submit the driver, please let me know

Thanks!
Tom

Hello Tom,

thats great news. If you'd like us to integrate the driver to the openvibe distribution, basically you'll either need to make a copyright transfer or make sure the driver is entirely contained under contrib/ folder. What kind of modifications would be needed for the non-contrib part? If that part is very small and trivial, then a rights transfer won't be needed.

Let us know how you'd like to proceed. The code can then be emailed to me (see http://openvibe.inria.fr/contact/ ) , and we'll give it a review + look at the integration.

We are intending a new ov release soon (end of april or so) and we might be able to include it to that if you like.

Thanks, and

Best,
Jussi

Hello Jussi,

Thanks for the reply. The modifications for the non-contrib part are really trivial, I'm sure a rights transfer wouldn't be necessary. Basically it's just a small addition to the cmake file FindThirdPartyGUSBampCAPI.cmake so that the build system can find the C API library provided by gtec.

I'll send you through the code now so if it could be included in the next release that'd be great. I've been through the code a fair bit so hopefully there's no bugs. If any issues crop up, by all means let me know and I can help to work through them.

All the best,
Tom
