[Hackathon] ARM Cortex-M LCD Demo

[Mike via Digitalmars-d-announce]

A simple demonstration using D to bare-metal program and ARM 
Cortex-M microcontroller.  Full description with pictures and 
even a video can be found here:

I know, random rectangles on a screen is not all that remarkable, 
but there's quite a bit of work that needs to be done before one 
can write their first pixel.
* Minimal D runtime
* Memory-mapped IO features
* Clock and flash memory configuration
* Software initialization (data and bss segments)
* SPI driver to configure the external LCD controller
* Internal parallel LCD controller configuration
* Hardware random number generator

EVERYTHING is in D. I've had this project on the back burner for 
a while, and the Hackathon gave me the excuse I needed to get it 
done.  I didn't put a lot of effort into the code because I just 
wanted to get something working to prove some ideas I had, and 
show that D has some potential in this domain.

I hope you find it interesting.  Ask me anything.
