Sure.  I was going to try some of it, but my time is limited...  I
also have a AT91SAM926x board of some ilk that I'd love to get
going...

: if  so, is someone ready to be my mentor for this project ?

I think something like this could be useful, so long as there's a
well-defined set of tasks/goals for the project.  Even more so if
there are design patterns or areas for code-reuse that could be
identified.  I guess I'd be able to mentor as well, but I'd want to
see more details on the plan before pushing for its inclusion.
