Hi Shibjash. On first read this seems like a very well put together proposal. You've done a good job of studying the existing source code structure, and I like the fact you describe documentation of the port as part of the deliverable. You might want to say a little more about yourself in the proposal - have you done any larger projects before? What relevant University courses have you done? I've suggested to some others who've been in touch that they might want to glance over some of the other xv6 ports to see if this gives any ideas for what you might do differently / the same. https://github.com/zhiyihuang/xv6_rpi_port https://github.com/david50407/xv6-rpi https://github.com/nullpo-head/xv6-mips Best, Alex
