This might be a good project to present to Outreachy internship:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-08/msg03970.html

 "QEMU will apply for the Outreachy December-March round. This
  internship program offers paid, full-time, remote work internships for
  contributing to open source. QEMU can act as an umbrella organization
  for KVM kernel projects."

Stefan, are we past the deadline for submission?

Regards,

Phil.

I skimmed over the source code in the afternoon, and indeed the 
encodings are textbook example of what should be auto-generated. However 
I didn't find the DSL syntax to be particularly palatable... maybe I was 
just reading a bit too quickly though.

As Song replied, Loongson Corporation should be very interested in 
testing their own offerings. This collaboration is exactly what we as a 
community strive for, and I'll happily review any code here or in 
loongarch-opcodes repo for that.

The Outreachy project idea deadline has been extended to September 29th.
QEMU contributors can submit project ideas they would like to mentor
