In my continuing research for my bare-metal operating system and language, I have been looking at polyFORTH. This is a system language designed for use on the massively-parallel processor chips produced by GreenArrays, obviously from the same heritage as the Problem Oriented Language philosophy from Charles Moore’s 1970 document. One interesting thing about the polyFORTH …

A few days ago I took a few small steps toward creating a project structure and build process which would allow me to build and test the majority of my bare-metal Raspberry Pi code on my development (Windows or Linux) machine, with only the very hardware-specific bits needing to be built and tested on the …

So far, despite working on a variety of bare-metal software features for the Raspberry Pi, I have not managed to achieve my aim of using the principles of TDD (Test-Driven Development). In my “day job” I make a lot of use of TDD techniques, and I am convinced that this approach both greatly improves the …
