A multi-part tutorial teaching how to write a bare metal operating system for the Raspberry Pi 4 in C. It covers booting, hardware interaction, and OS fundamentals on real commercial Arm hardware.
Use cases
- learn bare metal os development
- write an operating system for raspberry pi 4
- osdev tutorial for arm
- learn low-level c programming on hardware
- understand how operating systems boot
- build a hobby os from scratch
When to choose
- you want a hands-on, step-by-step guide to OS development on real hardware
- you own a Raspberry Pi 4 and want to program it without an existing OS
- you are learning Arm64 assembly and C at the hardware level
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready operating system or kernel
- you want OS development for x86 PCs or virtual machines only
- you are a complete beginner to C programming
