In this vein, and related to the Trusting Trust Attact section, I recently came across an x86 project that works to boostrap from nothing, reling on zero external software, even for compilation.
To that end it is organizes into "phases" where the lower levels bootstrap the higher ones, with level zero essentially coding directly in x86 opcodes.
I really want to dig into it more, but for the life of me cannot find the github page again. Any ideas?
- xelxebar 7y agoAaaaand, serendipidously, I just now stumbled upon it in an HN post a bit below this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21201413 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21201413 That article mentions the project I was thinking of: https://github.com/oriansj/stage0 https://github.com/oriansj/stage0 Amazingly, it seems they are even aiming to boostrap some minimal hardware as well! Super cool.

- senorsmile 7y agoThis sounds very interesting. If you find it, will you please post a link to the project?
