Master Bare-Metal Bring-Up for AI Agents on RISC-V & ARM

Master Bare-Metal Bring-Up for AI Agents on RISC-V & ARM

This AI agent skill assists developers in bringing up bare-metal or kernel code on new architectures such as RISC-V and ARM. It simplifies the process of overcoming initial boot issues, debugging hangs, and correcting faults that typically occur during early-stage hardware boot-up.

What this skill does

• Facilitates initial code boot-up on new architectures, system-on-chips (SoCs), or boards including RISC-V, ARM, and others.
• Focuses on resolving common boot issues like silence post-boot, early faults, and incorrect trap vector setups.
• Guides through the initial console output process by directly interfacing with UART for basic diagnostics.
• Enables the proper setup of stack and BSS to ensure code runs correctly from the start.
• Assists in validating address translation and syscall ABI when migrating to a new architectural target.

Who it is for

This skill is designed for software developers, hardware engineers, and teams working on AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, who require assistance in booting up new or ported code on diverse hardware architectures.

Use cases

• Debugging a "boots but hangs" scenario during early hardware testing.
• Setting up a new board or SoC for the first time with minimal primary troubleshooting tools.
• Adapting layered software stacks to new or unfamiliar system architecture executions.

Technical details

This skill employs capabilities from Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex to provide comprehensive support for bare-metal bring-up tasks. It includes specific tools for direct UART interface, and assists developers in establishing a solid initial console output, ensuring systematic and incremental debugging of hardware bring-up issues.
