Previously deferred (rpi5_native_boot.c's own header comment flagged this as needing interval-splitting logic written blind against hardware not yet in hand) -- revisited by fetching bcm2712-ds.dtsi directly rather than assuming reserved-memory was empty or absent. It has one static child (atf@0, ARM Trusted Firmware's own region) and one dynamic child (linux,cma, size/alloc-ranges only, no fixed reg) -- the dynamic one is skipped, nothing fixed to carve and no allocator this early to service it against anyway. Adds two fdt.c primitives: fdt_find_node_by_name() (reserved-memory has neither compatible nor device_type per DT spec) and fdt_next_child_node() -- one exported symbol, not the two-primitive general sibling-walker originally sketched, collapsed after review since the only real use here is "iterate one node's direct children." collect_reserved_ranges() reads each child's own #address-cells/ #size-cells with a fallback to root's only if absent -- confirmed necessary, not just defensive: reserved-memory's own declared <2>/<1> genuinely differs from root's <2>/<2>. emit_region_with_carveouts() clips a sorted reserved-range list against each RAM region, emitting alternating EfiConventionalMemory gaps and EfiReservedMemoryType carve-outs (insertion sort, no libc qsort in freestanding). RPI5_MAX_MEMMAP_ENTRIES is the exact worst-case count, recomputed rather than estimated -- the rpi5_mailbox.c buffer-size bug is the standing lesson for this pattern. Compile-only-verified; nothing in the existing UEFI/QEMU path calls rpi5_native_boot(), so this cannot be exercised until real hardware. Verified 3-arch boot to ok>/zuse)ok>.

src/starkernel/
LithosAnanke — the bare-metal UEFI kernel that boots StarForth directly on
hardware (amd64/aarch64/riscv64). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; the
only valid acceptance test is the three-arch QEMU boot (see
.claude/CLAUDE.md), never make test.
kernel_main.c— kernel entry point, driving the boot milestones (console init, PMM, VMM, interrupts, timers, kmalloc heap, VM bootstrap).repl.c— kernel REPL.doe_log.c— kernel-side DoE (Design of Experiments) metrics logging.
Subdirectories:
arch/{amd64,aarch64,riscv64}/— per-architecture support (APIC/GIC/ PLIC interrupt controller, timers, boot/ISR assembly).boot/— UEFI loader, ELF loading, kernel command-line parsing.capsule/— capsule birth/run/load/validate pipeline.hal/— hardware-abstraction-layer implementation (console, framebuffer, VT100, memory, host services).hash/— XXHash64 content-addressing implementation.math/— kernel-build Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.memory/— physical/virtual memory managers and the kernel heap.pci/— PCI bus enumeration.virtio/— VirtIO block device driver.vm/— kernel VM subsystem (bootstrap, core interpreter, parity logging, capsule arena).
See include/starkernel/README.md for the corresponding headers.
