Haven't watched the video, but I recently watched Timothy Roscoe's OSDI keynote on operating systems and hardware [0], where he argues for the operating system to include all of the kernel, device drivers and blobs that manage the SOC. He points out that the system emerging from the interaction of these components is complex and essentially unarchitected.

After watching his talk, I wanted to figure out how a computer, say a Raspberry PI, _really_ works. And build an operating system for it. Maybe in Rust?
