[Verse 1] Custom silicon waits in factory halls ARM processors dreaming of penguin calls Standard kernels stumble on foreign ground Device trees scattered, drivers unfound Your bootloader speaks a dialect unknown While interrupts fire in patterns they've never shown [Chorus] Cross-compile, cross your heart HAL stands guard when worlds fall apart Device tree bindings, memory maps Bridge the silicon communication gaps Port the kernel, port the dream Make the hardware fit the scheme [Verse 2] Architecture folders hold the sacred keys ARM64, RISC-V, x86 mysteries Kconfig symbols toggle vendor quirks While machine descriptors define how metal works Platform devices register their claims Mailbox protocols whisper register names [Chorus] Cross-compile, cross your heart HAL stands guard when worlds fall apart Device tree bindings, memory maps Bridge the silicon communication gaps Port the kernel, port the dream Make the hardware fit the scheme [Bridge] Endianness flips your byte parade Cache coherency protocols must be obeyed GPIO controllers need their proper mask Clock domains spinning at frequencies you ask DMA engines hunger for scatter-gather lists While power domains sleep when nothing persists [Verse 3] Toolchain targets speak in triples strange Host builds guest code, a cross-platform exchange Sysroot foundations anchor foreign libs While kernel headers export system fibs Binary formats dance ELF or PE Object files linking across CPU seas [Chorus] Cross-compile, cross your heart HAL stands guard when worlds fall apart Device tree bindings, memory maps Bridge the silicon communication gaps Port the kernel, port the dream Make the hardware fit the scheme [Outro] From silicon wafers to penguin parade Custom hardware sings the songs you made Abstraction layers hide the metal scars While ported kernels reach for register stars
