Bare-metal runtime debugger for the Raspberry Pi
A debugger for bare-metal ARM programs that have no OS, no gdbserver, and no debug port. A second
Raspberry Pi, wired directly to the target, takes control of the running program by hijacking a GPIO
interrupt.
Instead of running a command interpreter on the target, the debugger ships raw ARM machine code over a
bit-banged UART and the target executes it from a buffer. Arguments are patched directly into the
precompiled payloads, which handle memory read/write, GPIO control, fault-register inspection, and soft
restart.
Single-stepping works on hardware with no stepping support by using CP14 mismatch breakpoints. Everything
is driven from a menu on an ST7735R LCD, navigated with a hand-rolled NEC IR remote decoder.
A bare-metal Tamagotchi OS for the Raspberry Pi Zero, linking the virtual pet's survival directly to live
Kalshi prediction market portfolios.
The hardware talks to a REST API through a custom 921600-baud UART-to-Python pipeline. Includes custom SPI
and bit-banged I2C drivers, and an extended FAT32 filesystem for persistent state.
The classic 1993 DOOM ported to a bare-metal RISC-V system (MangoPi), with every OS dependency removed by
embedding the game assets directly into the binary.
Low-level drivers use SPI for the LCD framebuffer and I2S for DMA-driven audio, on top of a C standard
library written from the ground up.
Analysis of datasets with millions of entries tracking bird migration against Earth's magnetic field, with
over 100 interactive geospatial maps built in PyGMT and Seaborn.
Written up as a research manuscript and presented at national competitions, including Regeneron STS.
