## 📑 Organization
- Each tutorial contains a stand-alone, bootable `kernel` binary.
- Each new tutorial extends the previous one.
- Each tutorial `README` will have a short `tl;dr` section giving a brief
overview of the additions, and show the source code `diff` to the previous

This series tries to put a strong focus on user friendliness. Therefore, I made
efforts to eliminate the biggest painpoint in embedded development: Toolchain

## 💻 USB Serial Output
It is highly recommended to get a USB serial debug cable. It also powers the
Raspberry once you connect it, so you don't need extra power over the dedicated
power-USB. I use a bunch of
[these](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0757FQ5CX/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_ozGRDbVTJAG4Q).
You connect it to the GPIO pins 14/15 as shown beyond.
[Tutorial 6](06_drivers_gpio_uart) is the first where you can use it. Go to the
README there for instructions on how to prepare the SD card to run your
self-made kernels from it.
## 📟 USB Serial Output
Since the kernel developed in the tutorials runs on the real hardware, it is
highly recommended to get a USB serial debug cable to make the experience.
The cable also powers the Raspberry once you connect it, so you don't need extra
power over the dedicated power-USB.

Check it out for instructions on how to prepare the SD card to boot your
self-made kernel from it.
- Starting with [tutorial 7](07_uart_chainloader), booting kernels on your
Raspberry is getting _really_ comfortable. In this tutorial, a so-called
`chainloader` is developed, which will be last file you need to manually
copy on the SD card for a while. It will enable you to load the tutorial
kernels during boot on demand over `UART`.
