         Since all the above-mentioned bonus tasks are similar in nature,
and since I am doing my research in creating vertical buildsets, I am ready
to work on each of them (even if some tasks remain in the current GSoC
timeline, I can work on them after it). Now that Gedare has given the
feedback to the first draft of my proposal, I would like the advice of all
on resetting my timelines. Link to the proposal is available on :
https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/GSoC/2020 under the title BSP Buildset for
EPICS.
I also would like to request Heinz Junkes from EPICS community and members
of RTEMS to please help me out first to Build EPICS 7 from source with
RTEMS 5 so that I can accelerate up a bit with setting up the tools and
environment for the project.
