Projects were on Xv6, a simple Unix-like teaching operating system, with much of the class material from the associated open-source textbook.
Xv6 is a simple teaching operating system with many features missing. In the class projects, you implement some of those missing features using the C programming language.
Spring 2020 "Rust-mester"
Apparently, the project was very difficult. It involved writing an OS kernel from scratch using the Rust programming languages and testing it on a Raspberry Pi
