Most of these gripes exist in all modern ecosystems as a consequence of heterogenous and expansive markets of computer hardware. SoC-land is much, much worse. As an exercise, I'd recommend you try porting 9front to a random unsupported SBC. Personally, after a month of reverse engineering and running into really fun and cool hardware bugs, I gave up. > Why do we need a damn ACPI interpreter? Because ACPI is still used and for good reason. The lack of an equivalent in virtually every other ISA ecosystem is enough to laugh them out of the room whenever anyone suggests they're a viable alternative. No thanks. Keep your ridiculous blackbox that's actively hostile to having new software run on it. |

Exactly. It does not matter what core architecture is being used. What matters is that each system usually has different memory model, which is completely defeating any compatibility
