Gsoc 2012 project

[yangwei weiyang]

Hi all:
    From the mail of Joel I know that the Google summer of code 2012 is
going to start and RTEMS will be absolutely a member of organizations.
There are lots of projects i am interested in from the Wiki open project
section. The most favorite one for me is "Bus Space API". So i want to know
as much information as possible.
    First i have read "Bus Space API" section carefully at the Wiki, And
also know some basic backgroud through the IRC log. The bus_space API is
originally from NetBSD, its goal is to allow a single driver source file to
manipulate a set of devices on different system architectures, and to allow
a single driver object file to manipulate a set of devices on multiple bus
types on a single architecture. It is implemented in the BSP layer and the
architecture layer, that  means different architecture and machine must
implement its own bus space type and
functions. But the goal of  "Bus Space API" project is to easing the ports
of BSD drivers to RTEMS, so in order to realize its goal, should we port
bus_space API to RTEMS BSP layer and architecture layer or adapt the
bus_space API in the RTEMS score which make BSP layer and architecture
layer unchanged or changed minimum?
    So i want to know more information about this project, are there some
protential mentors to help me?

Best Regards
