NOTACON 5: CPU Not Required: Making Demos with FPGAs - by Jeri Ellsworth

New edition of Wirth’s book Project Oberon is out. It describes not only built from scratch software(entire operating system and compiler), but design of the hardware as well.
The vast complexity of popular operating systems makes them not only obscure, but also provides opportunities for “back doors”. They allow external agents to introduce spies and devils unnoticed by the user, making the system attackable and corruptible. The only safe remedy is to build a safe system anew from scratch.
