+#  Goal is to have BSPs build almost completely automatically from a template
+#  and information that comes from SOPC Builder as a .PTF file. Most of the
+#  code will go to a shared/ BSP directory.
+#
+#  Ideally, updates to the PTF shouldn't cause any pain for the maintainer
+#  of a specific BSP (possibly with enhancements not covered by the
+#  automatic BSP creation).
+#
+#  Some first steps toward utilizing SOPC Builder PTF output can be found
+#  in top level /tools/cpu/nios2. Also see the README there.
+#
+#   Implemented (in shared/ subdirectory)
+#     Clock driver
+#     Timer driver
+#     Console via JTAG UART
+#
+#   Todo;
+#     Support more peripherals. My priorities:
+#       - (improve) Altera Avalon JTAG UART
+#       - Altera Avalon UART
+#       - OpenCores.org I2C Master
+#       - Altera SPI Core / EPCS Configuration Device
+#       - OpenCores.org 10/100 Ethernet MAC (use existing driver)
+#       - (more) Altera Avalon Timer
+#
+#     Put all drivers aside in a shared/ subdirectory.
+#     Update the "times" file for NIOS2 with and without icache.
+#
+#   Missing (although it looks like it's there)
+#     Data cache handling (for now, don't use the "fast" NIOS2)
+#     SHM support (just taken over the code from no_cpu/no_bsp)
