This page links to some useful resources. We will likely be updating this page.
Pintos
The JHU Pintos manual has a complete overview of Pintos and the project sequence.
Tools
The Setup page has the information you need to set up your development environment.
If you will be doing development on your own machine, we highly recommend using the prebuilt i386-elf toolchain for building Pintos. See the Setup document for information about building the Bochs emulator from source.
