DISCLAIMER: These notes are from the defunct k8 project which precedes SquirrelJME. The notes for SquirrelJME start on 2016/02/26! The k8 project was effectively a Java SE 8 operating system and as such all of the notes are in the context of that scope. That project is no longer my goal as SquirrelJME is the spiritual successor to it.

Had a nose bleed, but my visit is almost over. Was writing generators but I believe if I can pass my own FileChannel I can potentially combine multiple generators, so a PowerPC generator could be directly attached to a MIPS one for example, or perhaps one for MicroMIPS. This way generators for the tiny form of things can be done in separate classes.

Going to use device trees (ePAPR) since it is a nice format and could possibly help portability between OSes as a standard definition. Since I already like Open Firmware's way of doing things with the device tree it is a plus. Also for my OS, I planned to use it for everything even before learning that the Linux kernel switched to it.

Going to simplify builder once again since it I can just use the standard file manager provided by the compiler as it must be able to handle JAR files.

I believe the best thing to do for the bootloaders is to keep them as minimal assembly as required that way less work is duplicated. They will just setup a basic interface and jump to Java code.
