General Description

End-user documentation should contains examples of usage and description of most important system features such as:

• Login into the system by telnet and uart
• Configuration and usage of the network (html server?)
• Showing and anylizing system logs
• Creation of graphic interface (GUI)
• Preparation of hello world user-space program

• Drivers system - types of drivers and simplicity of adding new drivers
• Terminal graphic gui (TGUI)
• Errors stack - easy way to store errors
• Auto-restart of default program
• Auto-stack size detector
• Control over allocations - it is always possible to check where and what for memory was allocated (getallocs -v program) and if it is overwritten.
• Memory of the program released with the program finish
• Control of the program stack - when it is overwritten, it is finished
• Hard faults does not make a system hang or crash - it can just make a program finish
• Hard faults are printed on stderr with a crash reason
• Auto-repair of the threads list in case of kernel panic
• Functions for checking if the pointer is not only NULL but also if it is a correct RAM or ROM address
• Library named oc_object.h that allows for object-pointers verification
• There can be defined a maximum size of memory that can be allocated by a program (it can protect agains memory leak)

The youtube channel should contain both: videos about the features usage and also videos about subjects that can be typed in the search very often (of course only related with the embedded programming)
