Hello Yang Qiao,

There is the future work listed in that page, and there are some other
project ideas for raspberry pi. There also could be the opportunity to
support the raspberry pi 2.

The original list of open Raspberry Pi projects were:
Peripherals we need to support (in order of increasing difficulty):
1. GPIO (This has been done by one user, but is not integrated)
2. I2C Bus
3. SPI Bus
4. Secure Digital card read and write support (using the SPI bus)
5. Graphics / RTEMS Framebuffer Support (I have a graphics demo
working in an RTEMS task)
6. USB Device support
7. HDMI/Graphics console (Requires framebuffer support and USB or GPIO
connected keyboard device)
8. Ethernet network support (Requires USB support)

Finally, in order to do some of this coding, it may be necessary to
come up with a more efficient way to load and debug code on the
Raspberry Pi. Options include using U-boot or connecting a JTAG debug
device to load code.

I don't know the status of all of the above, but I think there is
still a lot to do in #5-8.
