The NLP component translates human-readable commands into structured hardware operations.

Key Features:

• Pattern-based command recognition
• Device alias expansion (e.g., "LED" → GPIO pin 13)
• Multi-command parsing
• Context awareness

Example Flow:

"Turn on the red LED" 
    → Pattern match: "turn on"
    → Device lookup: "red LED" → GPIO pin 17
    → Command: GPIO_WRITE(17, HIGH)

The inference engine runs transformer models with special hardware control tokens.

Hardware Tokens:

<GPIO_READ>   = 32000
<GPIO_WRITE>  = 32001
<GPIO_HIGH>   = 32002
<GPIO_LOW>    = 32003
<I2C_READ>    = 32020
<I2C_WRITE>   = 32021

Token Processing Flow:

1. Text → Tokenization
2. Add hardware tokens
3. Model inference
4. Extract hardware operations
5. Execute via HAL

Provides unified interface to hardware resources:

• GPIO: Digital I/O control
• I2C: Device communication
• SPI: High-speed peripherals
• UART: Serial communication
• Memory: Direct memory access

The kernel manages system lifecycle and services:

• Boot sequence initialization
• Interrupt handling
• Background services
• Resource management
• System monitoring

0x01000000 - 0x10FFFFFF  : Model Weights (256MB)
0x11000000 - 0x18FFFFFF  : Heap (128MB)
0x19000000 - 0x19FFFFFF  : Stack (8MB)
0x20000000 - 0x2FFFFFFF  : Memory-Mapped I/O (256MB)

1. UEFI/Bootloader Stage
