## Structure

Each top folder represent an architecture. In that top folder, there's a
|
||||
Each top folder represents an architecture. In that top folder, there's a
|
||||
`README.md` file presenting the architecture as well as instructions to
|
||||
minimally get Collapse OS running on it. Then, in the same folder, there are
|
||||
auxiliary recipes for nice stuff built around that architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
The structure of those recipes follow a regular pattern: pre-collapse recipe
|
||||
and post-collapse recipe. That is, instructions to achieve the desired outcome
|
||||
from a "modern" system, and then, instructions to achieve the same thing from a
|
||||
system running Collapse OS.
|
||||
Installation procedures are centered around using a modern system to install
|
||||
Collapse OS. This is the most useful instructions to have most pre-collapse and
|
||||
post-collapse because even after the collapse, we'll interact mostly with modern
|
||||
technology for many years.
|
||||
|
||||
Initially, those recipes will only be possible in a "modern" system, but as
|
||||
tooling improve, we should be able to have recipes that we can consider
|
||||
complete.
|
||||
There are, however, recipes to write to different storage media, thus making
|
||||
Collapse OS fully reproducible. For example, you can use `rc2014/eeprom` to
|
||||
write arbitrary data to a `AT28` EEPROM.
|
||||
|
||||
The `rc2014` architecture is considered the "canonical" one. That means that
|
||||
if a recipe is considered architecture independent, it's the `rc2014` recipe
|
||||
folder that's going to contain it.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, `rc2014/eeprom` can be considered architecture independent because
|
||||
it's much more about the `AT28` than about a specific z80 architecture. You can
|
||||
adapt it to any supported architecture with minimal hassle. Therefore, it's
|
||||
not going to be copied in every architecture recipe folder.
|
||||
|
||||
`rc2014` installation recipe also contains more "newbie-friendly" instructions
|
||||
than other installation recipes, which take this knowledge for granted. It is
|
||||
therefore recommended to have a look at it even if you're not planning on using
|
||||
a RC2014.
