Yeah, I read that note and stopped looking further. I was hoping that maybe the hardware-specific code was in a different project and just wanted to be nice in case.
I just don’t get the point of making AI slop out of something like a toy RTOS, which is inherently a learning project more than anything else. There’s nothing even fun about doing it if you won’t even try to get it to run on an STM32 or something.
"Context switch (to be implemented in assembly for target architecture)"
There's no asm in the repo so I can only assume this is not something that actually compiles and runs.
Other things that are missing:
- No startup code (stack setup etc.)
- No linker script ("to be created", per makefile comment)
