Hello
I am a hobbyist searching for a cheap SOC/board to learn armv8 development. I am interested in os development, also bootloader and ottrusted firmware development.
Is there any SOC that provides good enough documentation to allow me to write my own firmware without banging my head against the wall (not counting lack of understanding for things that are written there)? Most socs I've seen are really lacking in that regard.
Also the requirement is of course armv8 architecture.
however, it is not a problem for me to read raw soc documentation. I actually understand enough when it goes to programming side to be able to learn. My problem is that soc documentation is more often than not just incomplete or very incomplete. Especially all the lower level initialization steps like initializing memory is hard if you don't have docs for this thing.
