Quite autistic, you must be very proud. 

What's the goal? Learning exercise or do you have a use case in mind?

What was the development process?

 I had a good understanding of operating systems and basic CS but never quite learned how virtual memory, exceptions, devices etc work on the assembly level. I am about to write a first VGA driver for the emulator kek

Mostly to satisfy my curiosity

 get qemu emulator, get the linaro toolchain (compiles assembly to machine code), read the armv8-a reference manual (its like 2k pages XD), write some assembly to print messages and set up an interrupt vector table (which reports to u whenever theres a fuck up in the system), and cause an error manually to test it.

Did you write a kernel?

yeah. its like 100 lines of code though, it just handles system errors and the timer now (ex: i can make it wait 100 secs b4 printing nigger)

Pretty impressive, honestly.
