Hi freebsd-arm, My name is Austin Shafer and I am looking for a Google Summer of = Code mentor. I loved reading Joseph Kong=E2=80=99s =E2=80=9CFreeBSD = Device Drivers: A Guide For The Intrepid=E2=80=9D and want to pursue a = project that could apply and build on what I had learned. The project = that caught my eye is =E2=80=9CImproving support for an embedded = CPU/Board=E2=80=9D.=20 = https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCodeIdeas#Improve_support_for_an_embedded= _CPU.2Fboard = <https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCodeIdeas#Improve_support_for_an_embedde= d_CPU.2Fboard> A little about me, I am an undergraduate student in computer = science who has used a FreeBSD desktop for school development throughout = most of college. I interned at Juniper Networks last summer and got to = meet some great members of the FreeBSD community. Although I have done = plenty of C and assembly code programming, I am still new to OS = development and want to learn as much as I can. The project involves bringing support for hardware devices such = as SATA controllers, SD/MMC interfaces, I2C and SPI interfaces, sound, = graphics hardware (2D only), and USB/USB2/USB3. I was interested in = working on the BeagleBone (TI AM335x CPU) but I am interested to hear = your recommendations on what CPU/board I should pursue.=20 If you are interested in mentoring me or have suggestions for = what I should do please let me know! Thanks for your time, Austin Shafer=
