Hello, Rajath!
Thank you for expressing interest in QEMU open source project.
There is certainly a place for you and your contributions in QEMU, and you
are very welcomed!
It looks to me the following project would fit your description:
'Implement emulation of DS3231 real time clock in QEMU'
Datasheet:
https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS3231.pdf
The steps needed to complete it (in my opinion):
- collect datasheets of as many as possible RTC chips already emulated in
QEMU (there are around of dozen of them, see folder hw/rtc)
- do a comparative analysis of selected RTC implementations in QEMU
- get to know general QEMU device model
- design and implement DS3231 emulation
I can give you (unfortunately constrained by tight time limits) some help
and guidance. But there are other people in community too (more
knowledgable in the area than me).
I salute your initiative!
Yours,
Aleksandar
