| | Wine is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, macOS, & BSD (https://www.winehq.org). If you have been using Linux for some time now, chances are you've used Wine at some point. Maybe to run that one very important Windows program that doesn't have a Linux version or maybe to play World of Warcraft or some other game. Fun fact, Valve's Steam Deck uses a Wine-based solution to run games (called Proton).

| | When writing a freestanding application, it's generally necessary for the firmware engineer to handle runtime initialization. Even when a library like newlib includes a rudimentary implementation of crt0.o, initialization is a very application-specific process owing to the need to initialize hardware, memory, and other loading tasks. In this essay, we examine the current and historical implementation of executable initialization, finishing with a minimal implementation usable with firmware applications. Note: Most firmware applications need to address the initialization of .data and .bss from nonvolatile memory. That is not addressed in this essay.
