What Hacker News says

CheesecakeOS for Raspberry Pi Volume 0: Booting, Processes, and Virtual Memory is the first in what I hope is a series of github markdown tutorials or volumes on bare-metal from-scratch operating system development. I have dreamed of contributing to the Linux Kernel, but have yet to find the courage to jump in and do so. I started by attempting to read Understanding the Linux Kernel by Daniel Bovet and Marco Cesati, but found it was too advanced for me at the time. I found another text I credit with advancing my understanding, Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective by Randall Bryant and David O'Hallaron. I worked on the self-study labs from their book website, and found them to be a superb educational tool. Further, then becoming interested in what creating an operating system actually means, I stumbled upon Sergey Matyukevich's Ras

berry-Pi-OS github repo (https://github.com/s-matyukevich/raspberry-pi-os). I wanted to expand on his tutorial, for my own education, and, in the best case, for the benefit of others. There are many ideas taken from Linux in the implementation, as when I didn't know how to proceed, that is the source I would consult. Though, I attempt to simplify and explain the details in the text. The implementation stops short of implementing or supporting a file system, the subject of the next volume.
In Show HN: CheesecakeOS for Raspberry Pi Volume 0: Booting, Processes, and VM
https://github.com/s-matyukevich/raspberry-pi-os Matyukevich page on GitHub has lessons with accompanying code to develop a Linux OS for raspberry Pi. The author goes into kernel, processor initialization, interrupt handling, scheduler, implementing syscall, and virtual memory. I like his approach for these reasons 1. Minimal workable code, 2. Points you to entry function in linux repo 3. Line commentary of those entry function Note that it's also a somewhat short read as he focuses on the practical implementations instead of the theory. I myself was hoping that the author continue developing the chapters on file system, drivers, and networking but seemed to have been on hiatus.
