How we ran a Unix-like OS (Xv6), on our home-built CPU with our home-built C compiler
How we ran a Unix-like OS (Xv6), on our home-built CPU with our home-built C compiler.
It’s been two years since I started working as a software engineer. I sometimes tell my colleagues about a student project I did in my junior year of university, and it’s so well-received that I’m writing this post. 1
Now, let me ask you a question. Have you ever designed your own ISA, built a processor of that ISA on FPGA, and built a compiler for it? Furthermore, have you run an operating system on that processor?
