Awesome. We need resources like this to get people into low level programming. The best class I ever took when I was an undergrad was a class where we built our own OS for a Data General Aviion workstation. Our systems staff was already under contract to help port 4.3BSD to the Aviion, and they had tons of test hardware and docs. So one of the group taught an OS class where whey basically turned us loose with a cross-toolchain and a manual and let us hack all semester. I think by the time we were done, we had something that booted and interacted with a very basic shell (but could not fork, no multi-tasking, no mem prot, etc). If it were not for this class, I think the more theoretical OS class that I took later in grad school (all dreadfully boring queueing theory style stuff) would have turned me off to doing OS work. Instead, I've had a career doing lots of low-level stuff (drivers, OS ports to new CPUs, network stack improvements, etc).
