This repository is a comprehensive educational and research resource for low-level systems programming, focusing on Linux kernel modules, baremetal programming, CPU architectures (x86_64, ARM, AArch64), and emulation with QEMU and gem5. It contains hundreds of self-contained examples—from trivial 'hello world' kernel modules to advanced topics like IRQ handling, RCU stalls, inline assembly patterns, CPU pipeline hazards, and floating-point arithmetic. The repository is not a production application but rather a knowledge base with automated build and test infrastructure that systematically verifies correctness across multiple architectures and emulators. It also serves as a reference for gem5 simulation, including checkpoint/restore, performance counters, and benchmarking (e.g., Dhrystone, cache performance). While primarily a research/teaching tool, it includes a reusable Python automation framework (CLI generators, parallel test runners, path-based property configuration) that could be extracted for other projects. The repository is hybrid in nature: its core content is data/research (experimental, analytical), but it incorporates application-quality infrastructure.
The openwifi repository provides a full-stack IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) implementation for Software Defined Radio (SDR) hardware, specifically targeting Xilinx Zynq/ZynqMP SoCs with AD9361/AD9364 RF transceivers. It consists of a Linux kernel driver (split into multiple modules for OFDM, TX/RX interfaces, and side-channel processing) and user-space tools for hardware configuration, FPGA bitstream loading, and Wi-Fi interface management. The system supports standard Wi-Fi modes (AP, STA, ad-hoc, monitor) and experimental features like Channel State Information (CSI) extraction, packet injection/fuzzing, and radar sensing. The build system uses Buildroot to generate bootable SD card images, and the project includes extensive documentation for experimentation and hardware bring-up.
This repository is the OpenWrt packages feed: a collection of roughly 5,000 package build recipes, patches, init scripts, UCI defaults, netifd protocol handlers, and small utility programs that extend the OpenWrt embedded Linux distribution. It is not a standalone application; it is a software distribution layer consumed by OpenWrt's feed mechanism. Each package directory contains a Makefile that wraps an upstream project (download, patch, cross-compile, install) plus OpenWrt-specific runtime glue such as /etc/init.d scripts, configuration files, and ubus/rpcd plugins. It also contains language build helpers for Python, Go, Rust, Perl, and Lua packages, plus a shared CI/test framework.
