- CI12 [U] Synthesis: mini-project
- CI13 [K] File systems
- CI14 [K] Sprint
[CI15] Exam (lab)

Kernel sessions: XV6

During the [K]sessions, you will develop an OS

Based on the xv6 OS
On the computer architecture RISC-V
Development of new OS mechanisms
sprint sessions:
- finalization of development
- evaluation by teachers

Evaluation

20% - Continuous assessment during sprints:
- how did you implement this mechanism of the OS?
- what happens if X?
80% - graded lab exam with several parts :
- course question(s)
- explain how you implemented an OS mechanism
- develop an application

Evaluation of the class

At the end of the class, students evaluate the class.
Objective: improve the class
