There are for sure other tools that need updating to run with Python 3.7 I ran into several while working with Chris to setup hardware CI testing using the BBB. The process...is not pleasant. Lots of obtuse references and difficult items to find to figure out how to get this all working. Having said that, he did share some work with me that helped out immensely. I think a part of this project could be to turn this work into a Python utility to allow easily building images with u-boot and FDT. Part of this would also be a tutorial for new users to go and set up a BBB and RPI for testing and running using this new tool and getting the new tftp proxy and ser2net working in conjunction. This would be a very close or near similar setup to any other BSP and is something that RTEMS sorely lacks. It all makes sense and isn't too bad once it's setup but but the current motto for new users is arcane. I think what Gedare mentioned and this would be an excellent GSoC project for anyone who only really needs knowledge in Python. Part of this tutorial would involve ASCII screen captures as well as during this process there are expected and unexpected behaviours that are best seen visually.
