Hi Tim, > I haven't mentioned Raspberry Pi because I think the processor is way > too complex for anyone to cut their teeth on this.
Point taken, though I was interested to see the series at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/freshers/raspberrypi/tutorials/os/ which tries to each ARM assembler on the RasPi where the machine code runs on the bare hardware; no OS. He's got as far as drawing lines and text on the screen. USB keyboard input has started but it cheats; the USB handling is in C and called from the assembler.
