Zinc doesn't really need u-boot too. So far we're targeting smaller MCUs that don't even run "big" OSes like Linux, but there's absolutely no problem in running zinc on e.g. RPi.

Zinc includes it's own preemptive scheduler, so, effectively it's an OS for user-defined tasks, as it does manage the hardware resources.

Platform trees in zinc are not really the same as devices tress in linux. Initially I tried to use linux device tree specification but in progress I realised, that zinc doesn't need some things and needs others. And with all the changes there's no reason to keep similar syntax.

At some point I realised that abstracting to the level of "source_frequency" and "out_frequency" is too fragile, That will be going away in some places, will be added in another, where applicable. You are going to specify the exact PLL configuration, but zinc will compute the clocks for e.g. timer or UART based on frequency or baud rate.
