Antikernel

This is the new development repository for the Antikernel OS.

Project Roadmap:

In no particular order...

Eventually some of these TODOs will be broken down into tickets on the issue tracker. Need to work out some finer details on design first.

• The legacy Splash build system is being completely rewritten and replaced.
• We'd love to write some developer documentation and formally specify the APIs for various existing components, as well as writing specifications for not-yet-implemented peripherals/drivers/services
• Fix the SARATOGA L1 cache so the miss servicing latency isn't so bad.
• Reduce hazards between SARATOGA execution units so we can dual-issue a higher fraction of instructions.
• Experiment with porting Antikernel to a Xilinx Zynq SoC using both the Cortex-A9s and the FPGA.
• We should probably have a filesystem at some point.

NOTES

The "legacy-*" directories contain a raw export of the old Subversion repository. This will all get moved elsewhere, possibly to separate repositories, during the upcoming restructuring.
