Assignment
The assignment for this course has four main parts, named busybox, kernel, user, image

All parts must be completed and integrated together to receive credit for the course

Assignment must be submitted by Friday, January 30, 2026 11:59PM GMT-5

Students will be given a somewhat minimal scaffold for their projects and will be responsible for submitting a tarball for their project

Docker is required on all systems, and Windows users are strongly advised to use wsl
The assignment should be done on sufficiently modern hardware (for reference, you should expect to compile the linux kernel)
A significant part of this course is learning to maintain clean, reproducible filesystem state
We will only grade the final submissions of those who have registered for credit. Submission logistics will be announced later
