A clacking sound filled the room as Tyler's fingers moved across the keyboard. He had typed the first line of Aegir codes.
// Aegir - Initialization Sequence
Yes, it didn't sound elegant or fancy as one would had expected. Neither did it sound like groundbreaking but that can be very deceiving.
Tyler got started and his main focus was on where every operating system must begin: the bootloader.
Heimdall doesn't use legacy BIOS or UEFI. Instead it uses Heimdall Core, a supervisory firmware system to replace BIOS entirely.
Heimdall's core during Heimdall's boot process had to initialize ten Valkyrie-X GPUs, route power through localized graphene rails, wake multiple RISC controller clusters, and verify that 256 terabytes of memory were online. And all before the system ever saw a UI.
There was no template for that, which mean Tyler had to built a custom bootloader from scratch.
