Nice to see a version of this process for an UEFI kernel. ~2 years ago I was playing around with a similar LFS like, home made DIY distro myself which runs on an i586 router board and a Raspberry Pi.
Sadly this guide skips all the "fun parts" of bootstrapping your own compiler toolchain first, and instead downloads a pre-built one from a third party.
Based on my project, I also decided to write a small guide similar to this one, for the Raspberry Pi 3 as a target[1], but also included the toolchain bootstrapping process[2].

- 0xbadcafebee 6y agoI agree, you learn a lot doing this! I cut my teeth on portable build systems after cross-compiling a bootstrap toolchain for SH4 CPUs so I could build a Linux distro for my Dreamcast. Way more fun working on an unusual platform and building it from scratch.
- oso2k 6y agoHahaha. I did that too based on the LinuxDevices article. I even had a few conversations with the author. https://linuxdevices.org/turning-the-sega-dreamcast-into-a-linux-firewall-router-a/ https://linuxdevices.org/turning-the-sega-dreamcast-into-a-l...
