RTOS/microkernel imporvements

These project ideas focus on growing open source for microcontrollers with a specific focus on better understanding of computer systems and co-processing in a heterogeneous, asymmetrical multiprocessor system where Linux is the typical kernel used on the system coordination portion of the system.
