Booting Raspberry Pi 3: Difference between revisions

This is a tutorial on bare-metal OS development on the AArch64 architecture. This article oriented to the Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi 3), but is aimed to be as device agnostic as possible. Therefore, some sections will be specific to the RPi 3 and will be marked.

This article assumes that you have all of the necessary materials needed to begin developing on your respective hardware. Other assumptions are that you are comfortable with low-level programming using C/C++ and the, GNU Make buildsystem, and that you are comfortable enough about OS development and hardware to not be confused.. Such details are not in the scope of this article and must be done before proceeding to the next steps.

This article is also intended for beginner users who want toa getminimal setsolution upfor developingcreating/starting onan theoperating architecturesystem, not for those who want to develop a full OS. Althoughalthough some insight can be derived for the advanced audience. This article also assumes that you are comfortable enough about OS development and hardware to not be confused.
