+# CS3502 Project 01-A Fall 2023
+
+# Setting up the OS Development Environment
+
+# Learning Objectives:
+
+# 
+
+## The purpose of this assignment is to continue the development examples of setting up an Operating System kernel.
+
+## 
+
+## Submissions will be placed here and they will contribute to the total assignment grade of 100 points.
+
+## 
+
+## This is the kernel build environment setup process and constitutes the Part I of the Kernel Build assignment. This assignment in D2L contains four sections that will complete the Project Assignment:
+
+## 
+
+## Part I: Set up Environment -- install NASM,QEMU, GCC, GDB in WSL, VM or native installation.
+
+##  First, read Part I below and review the attached Power Point for how to set up the environment. 
+
+## Part II: Get to a working shell prompt.
+
+##  Then complete the tasks for Part II given below in this document. Do not forget to answer the questions at the end.
+
+## 
+
+## Part III: Add a Memory Manager (the HEAP, Linked List data structures)
+
+##  Implement Best Fit, Worst Fit and First Fit kernel memory manager algorithm.
+
+## Part IV: Add a Process Manager (Linked List or Balanced BST data structure)
+
+##  Given a process binary load a process into memory.
+
+## Part V: Add a File Manager (Linked List and Tree or graph data structures)
+
+##  Implement a directory structure.

+**Submission Guidelines:**
+
+-   No handwritten submission is accepted, always submit answers as text
+    within this or similar document file with any support images
+    embedded in the file.
+
+-   **EXCEPTION**: If asked for source code implementation you can
+    submit those individually and as separate files in ASCII format in
+    their original file format .cpp, .java, .py, .cs etc. or even as a
+    .txt file will be acceptable. Do not insert code into the submission
+    document file. It ruins spacing which makes .python and some
+    languages (perl, awk etc.) difficult to test build.
+
+-   Do not submit ZIP files... ever... for anything in D2L. The system
+    is extremely unhelpful with regards to those filetypes and grading.
+
+-   You may include your freehand drawing/image and handwritten scans in
+    the submission. However, the writing and images must be clearly
+    legible. Though, it is best to present non-handwritten submissions,
+    generally, as is done in the professional setting.
+
+-   If asked, show all work/calculations/graphs etc. in the
+    determination of the problem.
+
+-   **Please complete your entire work in a single Word Document and
+    Save the file as: yournetid_CS3502_ProjectP1_2.docx (e.g.
+    ogarcia5_CS3502_ProjectP1_2.docx.) and upload your file in D2L.**
+
+-   Please observe the submission due date and time. After the due date
+    there is a 50% penalty for the next 24 hours. Any submission after
+    24 hours of the due date will be graded at 0%.
+
+-   If you include a reference or an image taken from other sources,
+    please cite them appropriately. APA is preferred but cite them so
+    they can be found. **NOTE: verbatim copying or even paraphrasing is
+    plagiarism so if the source used constitutes your answer rather than
+    simply *supporting* the answer, it will be considered invalid. This
+    is especially true of source code implementation answers.**
+
+-   If you resubmit, please make sure to attach the file again. Your
+    latest submission before the due date will be the one graded.
