The goal of the project was to investigate and program the MMU (Memory Management Unit) of the RaspberryPi, but ended up to form a basis of a small operating system. RaspberyPi 3 model B <link> was the hardware platform used, with stock firmware replaced with rpi-open-firmware <link>. An emulator, qemu (version 2.9.1) <link> capable of emulating an older RaspberryPi 2 was also used extensively. +The project was written in C programming language and ARM assembly. Knowlegde of C is required to understand the code. Knowledge of ARM assembly is useful, but it should be considered a thing, that can be learned **while** working with it. Still, the reader should at least have an idea of what assembly language is and how it is used. + +This documentation is intended to provide information on bare-metal programming on the RapsberryPi and ARM in general, as well as description of our solutions and implementations. There is a lot of information available on the topic in online sources <link to our bibliography>, yet it is not always in an easy-to-understand form and the amount of different options described in manuals might me overwhelming for people new to the topic. That's why we attempted to describe our work in a way the audience of bare-metal programming newcomers will find useful. External resources we used are linked throughout the documentation as well as listed here <link to bibliography>. + +It is planned, for future years students of the Embedded Systems course, to have an option to continue or reuse previous projects, such as this one. We hope this documentation will prove useful to our younger colleagues who happen to be work with the codebase. + +In case on any bugs or questions, the authors can be contacted at <>. |
