This page contains download links for the GNU toolchains, as well as the model answers to each lesson.
1 GNU Toolchain
1.1 Microsoft Windows
Please visit the YAGARTO website and download and install YAGARTO Tools and YAGARTO GNU ARM toolchain for Windows. MinGW can be downloaded from here. You may need to restart your computer for this to work (honestly).
Note: YAGARTO must be installed to a path with no spaces, e.g. 'C:\YAGARTO\' not 'C:\Program Files\YAGARTO\'.
1.2 Mac OS X
For Mac OS X, I use the YAGARTO packages.
Please visit the YAGARTO website and download and install YAGARTO GNU ARM toolchain for Mac OS X.
Use the following commands:

2 OS Template
The OS Template file is one I have created which contains enough instructions for the compiler to create a basic Operating System for the Raspberry Pi. It contains no actual assembly code, just a Makefile script and a Linker script.

4 Example Operating Systems
Here are some example operating systems for you to learn from. If you've coded an operating system that you think others could benefit from, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.org.
|Coloured CLI||Alex Chadwick||This example is a small extension to Input01, featuring a coloured text terminal, rather than a black and white one. Special characters are used to change the colour.|
|Pascal OSs||Marten van der Honing||A few small OSs written is Pascal based on this course, and beyond.|
Below are some fonts for you to use in your Operating Systems.
5.1 Monospace, Monochrome 8x16
These fonts are the simplest ones available. They use a 1 to represent a white pixel, a 0 to represent a black pixel, and having representations for the first 128 ASCII characters. The use 16 bytes per character, arranged such that each byte is one complete row, going right to left with higher bits, going top to bottom with later bytes.
The tutorial used to suggest these fonts were stored in the opposite direction along the rows. The lowest bit is the rightmost pixel, the highest bit is the leftmost.
|Monospace Default||Free to use/redistribute commercially. Cannot be titled 'Bitstream' or 'Vera'.|
|Liberation Mono||SIL Open Font License.|
|Liberation Serif Mono||SIL Open Font License.|
