The article provides a step-by-step guide on bringing up the Linux kernel on a new platform, using a minimal emulated RISC-V CPU as the target. It covers writing a custom emulator, compiling a toolchain, kernel, init program, creating an initramfs, writing a device tree, and running the result in a browser.
Background
