NeKernel – Modular C++ Kernel with early BootNet support

Hacker News

Just pushed a new commit to NeKernel, a modular C++ kernel built from scratch. This update introduces BootNet, a WIP network boot fallback module. If the kernel fails to load, BootNet is designed to recover by booting from a packet. EEPROM update support is planned, but not yet implemented. Repo: https://github.com/amlel-el-mahrouss/nekernel Docs: https://amlel-el-mahrouss.github.io/nekernel-docs/ Feedback welcome.
