Is there some "documentation" available? Is it possible to run it on a real machine?

I think that I saw a video with mezzano booted on a "real machine", but I'm not certain of it

Does mezzano need a specific arch like x86 or can I use it on RISC V or ARM?

afaik it works on x86-64 and arm64 (I'm not sure whether arm64 works fine, I'd check the channel logs form arm64)

OK, thanks. Sorry, but apart from the code in github - is there some paper that describes how the OS starts / works?

to the best of my knowledge it is a brainchild of froggey, so unless you dissect them you'll need to read the source code ;p

(or ask and wait patiently for someone answer on the channel, irc is not the most immediate means of communication)

Okay, it would be easier for me to have some starting point to look into. So if someone can give a hint - many thanks.

ACTION is still rolling on the floor dissecting this or that

Thank you. Found fitzsims blogpost booting on a thinkpad, too

So it seems to run on real hardware

I'd like to understand how the boot process works. I think there is x86 and arm is supported.

I am waiting for a RISC V SBC and it w'd be nice to see if it boots on this machine

But that architecture is not supported yes
