Using Zig to Provide Stack Traces on Kernel Panic for a Bare Bones Operating System

The article describes a technical project to create a bare-metal operating system for a Raspberry Pi 3+ to run an arcade game. It focuses on overcoming the lack of debugging tools in a freestanding environment by using the Zig programming language to create a custom panic handler and embed DWARF debugging information directly into the kernel to generate useful stack traces on crashes.
