This is a tutorial on bare-metal [OS] development on the Raspberry Pi. This tutorial is written specifically for the Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2 because the author has no other hardware to test on. But so far the models are basically identical for the purpose of this tutorial (Rev 1 has 256MB ram, Model A has no ethernet).

This is the authors very first ARM system and we learn as we write without any prior knowledge about ARM. Experience in Linux/Unix (very important) and C/C++ language (incredibly important, including how to use inline assembler) is assumed and required. This is not a tutorial about how to build a kernel but a simple intro in how to get started on the RPi.
