Demo Android app using BBBAndroid#
Summary: BBBAndroid is mainly designed to enable users to run Android on our favorite embedded linux board (i.e. Beaglebone Black). “Demo Android app using BBBAndroid” project focuses on the demonstration of apps that can run on Android which makes use of some awesome peripherals support of the BeagleBone Black like ADC, GPIO, I2C, SPI, USB, CAN , PWM, UART etc. Future task could be to make simple APIs for interfacing BBB peripherals using NDK.

Android-based Remote Display#
Summary: My project goal is to implement a kernel device driver for USB Playback device, USB mouse and keyboard using Android AOA protocol. Successful completion of this project will give support of multiple cape and peripherals in a single gadget. I’ll also focus on improving the USB framebuffer driver and develop corresponding android application for end user.

BeagleSat - Enabling accurate magnetic field measurements on CubeSats#
Summary: Magnetic field measurements play an important role in Earth-orbiting satellites, such as attitude determination and scientific instrument pointing. Unless built specifically for high accuracy measurements, satellites usually come with significant magnetic sources of errors that severely degrade measurement accuracy. This GSoC project aims to implement algorithms that enable low-cost high quality magnetic field measurements on smaller spacecraft without booms using the BeagleBone platform.

NW.js (a.k.a node-webkit) based cross-platform getting-started app#
Summary: The cross-platform getting-started app will provide a tool for new users, that allows an easy and fast configuration of Beagle boards. Inexperienced users get the chance to start using Beagle quickly and most importantly hassle-free, allowing them to experience Linux and embedded systems.

PRUSS support for newer kernels#
Summary: The aim is to build a framework for easy communication between the ARM and PRUSS. Currently these features are provided by libprussdrv and linux kernel’s remoteproc infrastructure. However both have their limitation and require developers to hack kernel drivers to optimize them for their application. This project would develop a lightweight, robust easy-to-use, yet powerful communication framework for ARM-PRU, which would make life for beaglebone users a lot easier.
