+
+`genesis` is a bare metal firmware implementation for mips. it implements everything from the bottom up, from
+initializing the cpu caches, to configuring pci devices and the interrupt controller.
+
+i noticed that every kernel implementation is always for x86, so i decided to implement it for something a
+little more esoteric - mips.
+
+the project is currently in very early stages but the basics are there.
+
+it is my hobby project for me to learn about embedded programming.
+
+feel free to follow along the development of it :).
