The following is a checklist of tasks that you will ideally complete ASAP, but early in week 1 at the latest.

• Ensure you have access to the Discourse forum.
• Start milestone 0 to set up your development environment. You will confirm the following access and dependencies simply by following the initial milestone 0 instructions.
• Confirm you have access to gitlab to checkout the source repo.
• Confirm you have an aarch64 cross-compilation toolchain that builds the code base, or choose to use the toolchain on CSE.
• If you use your own toolchain, as per the build system docs, gcc 9 ≤ version ≤ 11 is known to compile the code.
• GDB 15.1 is required for debugging (you may have to compile your own cross debugger with target aarch64-none-elf or similar)
• Confirm you have access to the Odroid C2 cluster with the odroid command.
• Optionally, set up VS Code or another editor to make source browsing more efficient.
