The primary documentation for the kernel is in doxygen currently: https://docs.rtems.org/doxygen/cpukit/html/modules.html
You should start to break-down the larger project into smaller sub-projects/tasks and think about your project plan. This will help you to write a strong proposal that could guide you through the entire summer. Also, getting one of the SMP-capable targets running is a good idea. Last I remember there is an ARM target you can run in SMP mode on Qemu.
