I agree with Gedare: You should start with the usual steps for GSoC like
described in the wiki. After that the project should be discussed on
devel at rtems.org.

If you suggest the project, please also take a look at what already
exists (or ask for it on devel). For example I know that someone already
did something with keyboard and mouse:


https://git.rtems.org/rtems-libbsd/commit/?id=29c0cffe57a04e487f5a5a61f7d12e5e067712a0

I have no idea how well it is already integrated and whether it works on
RPi. You should add Kevin Kirspel to CC if you post on devel regarding
this project.
