There are definitely other good projects to consider that haven't had
as much attention as the BB projects. Also note that you should
complete https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/GSoC/GettingStarted and begin to
prepare your proposal immediately. Your best bet is to find a project
matching your interest/skills that has a suitable amount of
information posted about it, since you are not likely to get a lot of
feedback on your proposal before the deadline.

For the BB projects, I suspect the Framebuffer or CAN would be good
directions to push. Framebuffer support exists in a few scattered
BSPs, but we could use a consistent approach and more uniform API for
framebuffer devices. For CAN there was a project a couple years ago
that made some progress in simulating CAN with Qemu, but never got to
the point of getting a CAN package to integrate easily with RTEMS.
There was a follow-up proposal by the same student for the project,
but we did not accept it [1].
