Stephen Marz's personal blog at osblog.stephenmarz.com covers programming and systems. Since 2019, 12 different Hacker News readers have linked it 50 times, most often “The Adventures of OS: Making a RISC-V Operating System Using Rust”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (12) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters point to this blog's step-by-step tutorial series on building a RISC-V operating system in Rust, often recommended for learning OS development in Rust.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 12 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionIt’s a custom written OS for the RISC V processor written in Rust. http://osblog.stephenmarz.com/index.html Edit: original post I could’ve sworn was worded to imply it was what was what GP linked, but either I misread or it was edited, so changed my reply accordingly.

HN discussionA colleague of mine has been testing out all of the RISC-V chips he can get his hands on, including a few SiFive boards. He really likes them. Check out his free book if you are interested in understanding SiFive's boards or RISC-V in general: Making a RISC-V Operating System using Rust ( https://osblog.stephenmarz.com/ )

HN discussionI’ve had a lot of fun learning RISC-V assembly off and on over the last year. I went through a colleague of mine’s tutorial series on implementing an operating system targeting RISC-V using Rust. Now I’m working on my own small assembler for RISC-V. It’s been so much more fun to learn than x86! Edit: link to the tutorial ( http://osblog.stephenmarz.com/ )

HN discussionDo you mean like a hardware board for educational purposes? I use the Sipeed Maixduino (or Maix Bit) for my classes. The problem with these boards is there is a lot of esoteric, non-documented items. For a well documented hardware board, I would look at the Sifive Hifive1 (Rev B). Since RISC-V is still relatively new, I'm sure more and more boards will start making it to market rather soon. The RISC-V organization h…
