I signed up, but I share the feeling here that this has to be a joke or email harvester or something else... Still, it'll be neat if there's at least an attempt. If it's real, I doubt I'd make it to the end. One aspect of this that is pretty doable and far more important than being a C++ Grandmaster is knowing how to implement the pieces that get basic code (in any language) from text file to the registers on your x86-64 CPU with a Linux kernel managing your program and others. I had a real-time operating systems course a few years ago in which we developed a simple real-time kernel running directly on an arm9 microcontroller board. The toolchain of cross-compiling with gcc and programming the device (and creating the required linker file for the architecture and bootup assembly) was fortunately done for us with source available, and we did a high-level overview of how openOCD works and a whirlwind tour near the end of the course of how we might compile a program independent of our RTOS kernel's program and load the separate program from SD card with the RTOS and run it. We talked about elf files and related topics but didn't go too deep--it'd be nice to revisit some of the topics and especially in the context of Linux. (I would prefer an arm device over x86 though.)
