These\nmicrocontrollers use the Harvard architecture, meaning that data cannot be\nexecuted as code; due to this, AOS operates by executing programs written in\nAOS bytecode (ABC).\n\nAOS consists of three main components:\n\n  - The AOS Virtual Machine (AVM) which executes ABC. \n  - The kernel, which configures an AVM environment and manages its resources.\n  - The *shell.abc* program which provides a user interface for AOS.\n\n## Notes\n\n  - AOS uses a basic filesystem which is currently stored on the AVR's EEPROM\n  memory. In the future, AOS will support storing the filesystem on external \n  flash instead. EEPROM has a relatively low write lifetime (approximately\n  100,000 writes), meaning that **bugs in AOS' filesystem could instantly and\n  permanently destroy your AVR's EEPROM.** Use a simulator where possible!\n\n  - Upon booting, AOS loads the file at the beginning of its filesystem and\n  executes it. (This file is called the *rootfile*.) You can find valid\n  filesystems with rootfiles in the *Filesystem dumps* folder of this repo.\n  Read the source to find out how files are structured if you'd like to make\n  your own.\n\n  - The *Tools* folder contains a basic ABC assembler written in Ruby. It's\n  very simple and has absolutely no error checking, but if you're careful when\n  writing programs it works well.\n\n  - This has only been tested on an ATmega328P. It will probably work on higher-\n  end chips, but is unlikely to work on lower-end ones unless `PAGE_COUNT` is\n  reduced due to SRAM requirements.\n\n## Notices\n\n    THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED \"AS IS\", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
