The design and implementation of a Monolithic-Kernel Single Board Computer (SBC) - Cubietruck GNU/Linux-like operating system on ARM platform in technical details, including boot loader design - UBOOT, building the Kernel - uImage, design of root file system and init process. The Single Board Computer Operating System (SBC OS) is developed on Linux platform with GNU tool chain. The SBC OS can be used for both SBC system application development and related curriculum teaching. Single Board Computer like embedded system related curriculums are already become necessary components for undergraduate computer majors. The system is mainly designed for the purpose of technical research and curriculum based teaching and students to learn, study and more readable, of which the source codes can be provided to students, guiding them to design tiny operating system on ARM platform from scratch.
