Project Summary
Mosys is a swiss army knife of system tools. It is intended to assist with bring-up, debugging, and support of platforms which often requires obscure and platform-specific knowledge.

It is written in C (Linux kernel style) and can be used as a standalone program, linked into other programs, or as a diagnostic payload for firmware and bootloaders.
