I plan to repurpose old-ish boards with MIPS/ARM SoCs (e.g., AR7240) for various network security purposes. For the C part I have a set of daemons planned and partially implemented which will provide basic functionality without mixing in too much policy/role specific stuff, as well as an IPC library for those daemons. Lua will be used for the test harness and for wiring the functionality provided by the daemons together based on the role of the specific device. POSIX sh for things like execve shims and glue. Everything running on top of a small Linux system. FreeBSD would be nice, but I've had some mixed results with support for it on some SoCs and I want it to be as painless as possible.
Purely a hobby project ATM. I have a couple of boards lying around and I like the design constraints; it's nice to write code for something that's 400MHz, 8MB ROM, 32MB RAM and the size of a match box. Some include removable PSUs, but can also be powered with Li-Po packs &c. Most of them have Ethernet and USB, some WiFi.
