Submitting Project 0

Once you’ve finished everything, you are ready to submit your work. You are submitting your assignment results as commits that have to be pushed to the github repository. The section about staging and committing changes in VSCode gives you a good introduction on how to do this.

We will be using Github Classrom to collect assignments and Moodle to release your scores. We will use Git for version control in the class. If you are new to Git, there are plenty of tutorials online that you can read, e.g., this one.

To summarize the tasks for this project:

  • Submit a screenshot of PintOS being booted on your local environment, see the Boot PintOS section for details. Please place the screenshot as booting_pintos.png in the directory results/, next to the file answers.md.
  • Answer Q1 to Q5 listed in the section Find the faulting Instruction. Add your answers to the answers.md in the results/ directory.
  • Answer Q1 to Q8 listed in the section Step through the Crash. Add your answers to the answers.md in the results/ directory.
  • Answer Q1 to Q4 listed in the section Debug. Add your answers to the answers.md in the results/ directory. Note that this involves actually fixing the problem identified in the previous steps.

Please also note, that once you push to your repository, Github will compile and run your code automatically. This will result in a green check mark being added to the home page of your repository, telling you that all tests you added have successfully passed. If you see a red cross instead, then one or more of the tests in your code have failed and you will have to debug your code. Simply commit and push again once you have fixed the problems.

There is also an introduction to Git available that describes the overall concepts and the use of Git from a command line. It also answers some frequently asked questions.

We have a Github tutorial you might want to have a look at as well.

Last but not least, you can have a look at this document if you are interested in knowing more about Github Classroom.

And that’s it! You’re done!
