Description

I've been curious about baremetal programming on linux-class devices for awhile. Turns out there's a community of folks with the same curiosity (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=72) and a lot of progress made in open source land. I'm plan to use this project as mostly a learning exercise. Since we all need a goal to get stuff done, I'm going to *try* to port MicroPython (https://github.com/micropython/micropython) onto a Raspberry Pi Zero. To the text editor!

Pretty straight-forward to blink the on-board LED. Code from https://github.com/dwelch67/raspberrypi/tree/master/boards/pizero/blinker01.

A search for "baremetal raspberry pi" will return a handful of results from a few brave souls. The most common are:
- Bare Metal Programming in C
- The official "Bare Metal" forum on raspberrypi.org
- An active project from dwelch67
In addition, there's a rather dated project that got ChibiOS (my preferred RTOS) running on a Pi using the above resources. There may be a separate project for the RTOS in the future!
