How realistic it is?

Do you really this that one could make hardware (CPU, controllers) -> OS kernel and drivers -> assembler, compiler and maybe complete toolchain -> TCP stack -> web browser, and all that in 12 weeks?

Software and hardware projects are known for underestimates when it comes to time required to complete them. When bugs start to crawl out, from poorly constructed foundations (hardware, OS kernel), made in hurry, it will be next to impossible to make web browser on top of those foundations in that time, IMHO.

This is not intended to be a fully functional perfect soft+hard project. It's for educational purposes. Said that, I agree that the time frames are super tight for a normal human.

But really nice as an educational (real) full stack CS knowledge.
