Hello John, welcome to RTEMS. Please note that we require students to send in some proof that they can build and run RTEMS on the hardware for the project. See the GSoC Getting Started guide in the wiki. Regarding your suggested project: I would love to see the USB-OTG support working. But note that we already have a proposal to extend the FDT support in BBB. And I'm not sure whether USB-OTG is really enough for a whole GSoC. Adding the USB-OTG support will be mostly a libbsd project and won't be too peripheral oriented. It is more a question about how to analyze how to set up an OTG device in FreeBSD and find out how that can be implemented in RTEMS using libbsd. Maybe you want to start by taking a short look at FreeBSD and how to set up a USB-OTG device there. Depending on that there might could be topics that are similar that would be a good match for the project. For example if it is done via rc.conf: I think there are quite some other stuff that could be added to rc.conf too (e.g. WLAN support; see Trac ticket #3222).
