Is the goal of the this class teaching student how to re-write the Pi3 's kernel/driver in Rust?
It is not that clear from the course syllabus.
"This course covers the following topics:
Disks, File systems, I/O, Threads & Processes, Scheduling, Virtual Memory, Protection & Security, Interrupts, Concurrency & Synchronization."
In theory, if those are the goals, one doesn't need Rust as part the first week's lecture.
Rewriting the Kernel in Rust sure makes a very interesting (and very tough) way to learn OS in 3 months.
- habitue 9y agoIt's not writing a new kernel in Rust, it's an OS course, where they touch on all the fundamentals. Instead of assignments being in C, they're in Rust.
