Companion resources for a course teaching how to write a simple RISC-V operating system kernel from scratch in C. Includes demo code, Makefiles for building, running, and debugging under QEMU, and setup instructions for the RISC-V GNU toolchain.

Use cases

• learn to write an operating system kernel for RISC-V
• follow a step-by-step OS development course
• build and run a toy RISC-V kernel in QEMU
• study OS boot and kernel basics with hands-on code
• set up a RISC-V cross-compilation and debugging environment

When to choose

• you want a guided, hands-on introduction to OS kernel development on RISC-V
• you prefer course-style materials with runnable demo code
• you want a lightweight alternative to xv6 for learning

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready operating system
• you want an OS for architectures other than RISC-V
• you need comprehensive OS features like full memory management or drivers
