Hello everyone. I happened across this site in search for STM32 efi builds. I have been doing embedded work for the past 15 years and would like to contribute to this project. My initiatives are more focused around the smaller engines used in motorcycles and such so that I what my test bed will be. I have all the fuel injection hardware purchase from ebay for ~$35, injector, map sensor, o2 sensor, fuel pump, etc. I reviewed the code and simulator project and it looks pretty good. Anyone here ever used CooCox? I dont have Eclipse just yet but will get it installed if the port to CooCox becomes to much. Anyway let me know how I can help out.
Regards,
Matt

Good morning Matt, welcome to the forum!
http://rusefi.com/wiki/index.php?title=Development:Source_code_intro has a link to the open issues tracker and pretty much any ticket would be something you can help with
The ones on the easy yet useful side would be
https://sourceforge.net/p/rusefi/tickets/78/
https://sourceforge.net/p/rusefi/tickets/42/ is another good ticket just to get yourself into the game.
On the other hand, we also need test engines and people who would actually run them. Once you get your engine running you yourself would see where usability or features are missing.

I've used CooCox before, is a nice build environment. As I'm sure you know, it's largely a pre-packaged eclipse environment that installs easily and works well with some other CooCox features. Once you get this up and running you should be reasonably familiar with how this environment works. This environment makes use of some lower level features of eclipse like SVN check ins and I seem to recall some simulation options. I believe we are using this environment as these features are really nice and are kind of hard to obtain via CooCox package. I really liked how well CooCox allowed things like stepping through the live code and inspecting registers via JTAG. Does ChibiOS work with CooCox?
Welcome along and feel free to jump right in

If you have questions, feel free to ask. I'm more of a hardware fellow so I would be of more help up that avenue. My very long in the tooth snow blower effort found here
http://jaredharvey.com/Files/projects/Engine_control/snow_blower/snow_blower.htm Some day I'll muster the effort to complete that.
