Based on your feedback, adding memory protection <https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/2904> or enhancing Wi-fi Support in libbsd <https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/3222> are two projects that I would like to work upon.
For MMU support I think a lot unmerged PowerPC code is already present, but since I would be using BBB I would only be able to use that as a reference. Is it feasible to start it from scratch? For Wi-Fi support, I would require an RTL8188 USB dongle along with JTAG for debugging purposes. I am not quite sure about how to handle the 'hot-plugging' case in this project it would be very helpful if someone could point me in the right direction.
