## Summary

The Chaos OS is a bare metal microkernel targeting embedded systems. It will include various bare metal example in several languages and of course several server examples. Network stack and file systems are just implied. I might also make a USB stack, graphics subsystem and a custom compiler for a new language. 

### Support

I plan on developing the kernel in parallel on these targets

- SAMA5D27 (single-core Cortex-A5)

- SAMA5D4  (single-core Cortex-A5)

- Orange Pi PC (quad-core Cortex-A7)

- Orange Pi (quad-core Cortex-A7 virtualized on QEMU)

- FireFly RK3288 (quad-core Cortex-A17)

### Structure 

The Chaos kernel will be loaded by u-boot into external memory. I do not intend to write any board spesific bootloader. The kernel will have a relocatable PIC stage for relocating itself to the beginning of DDR. This opens the possibilities for soft reboot, in which we can replace a running kernel. This will definitely outperform a u-boot reset. The kernel will have a TFTP component embedded into the kernel which will take care of the soft reboot.
