Hello, I recently found this project and was wondering if this project was still interested in applicants for the 2022 summer. I was looking into the project ideas and am looking into "Emulate hardware and filesystem in platform-independent way for unit tests" and "Optimize Erase-Function Selection". As many of the projects require programmers, flash chips, and hardware, I was wondering to what extent I would need to have these. I saw the following lists which demonstrate the supported hardware, but I would appreciate it if I could have a more descriptive explanation of what I would need. https://www.flashrom.org/Supported_programmers
https://www.flashrom.org/Supported_hardware

Additionally, I noticed that some projects want low-level programming, which I would be interested in. However, as I have only a small amount of experience with MIPS, would it not be worthwhile to apply to this position?

Thank you for your time
