Thanks. It is nice to see that you already ran it successfully on the BBB.

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.

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.
