</blockquote><div>Thanks. It is nice to see that you already ran it successfully on the BBB.</div><div><br></div><div>As of now, the BBB has quite mature support including Ethernet and USB. There is another student actively working on a proposal to expand our BBB support a bit further. I'm not certain if there is sufficient work/interest/mentoring available to support multiple BBB projects. You might consider what specific projects would interest you though. You should take a look at past years' GSoC projects documented on our wiki, they are linked from our main 'GSoC' page.</div><div><br></div><div>There are also lots of interesting projects that can be done in a BSP-agnostic way, but still could be valuable to test with the BBB. The most important aspect about doing development with a BBB is that you can use the JTAG, which requires some soldering and additional effort to work with a standalone JTAG debugger. If you don't have that, and want to work with the BBB, it is highly recommended.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">_______________________________________________<br>
