RustOSGuideforRPi3
This is a chapter wise beginner friendly guide to creating an Operating System for the Raspberry Pi 3 board, from scratch. This is written by me as I work on my own OS in the same condition. It serves as both as an educational guide and also a documentation of how I myself made my own OS. Naturally this means it is possible that as I discover more information, I may have to heavily amend previous writings. But still, I think it will be greatly beneficial to beginners who don’t know anything.
Structure
The structure is extremely simple. The chapters follow a journey like chronological order. Instead of explaining one aspect at a time, they are meant to be followed through in an episodic format. Meant to cover implementations the same order as the order in which a real developer would tackle them in his project. However this continuity starts from Chapter 1. Chapter 0 is more akin to rough a prologue chapter for people who have absolutely minimal knowledge about the subject.
Contribution
This guide is still incomplete so the final proof reading and correction is yet to be done. However, no pull requests will ever be accepted, not right now, neither after this guide is complete. Issues however can be freely opened about mistakes, suggestions, recommendations, etc.
AtOS
My operating system which this entire guide is technically a documentation of, is named “AtOS”. All the source code is pubicly available in the below linked repository. Chapters may also link to its old snapshots for reference. While this book does not accept pull requests, AtOS accepts any reasonable contributions to it. However AtOS is not meant to be a large scope operating system. It is only meant to serve as the foundation for this guide, so adding complicated features which are not covered by this guide will not be accepted.
