Sure. I was going to try some of it, but my time is limited... I
also have a AT91SAM926x board of some ilk that I'd love to get
going...

: proposals and have access to a big range of different Atmel boards.

: if so, is someone ready to be my mentor for this project ?
I think something like this could be useful, so long as there's a
well-defined set of tasks/goals for the project. Even more so if
there are design patterns or areas for code-reuse that could be
identified. I guess I'd be able to mentor as well, but I'd want to
see more details on the plan before pushing for its inclusion.
