There is no single point of entry to find information about how

enable absolute beginners (of embedded Linux and D) to get 
started as fast as possible. The project is in sync with a 
GitBook page 
https://fkromer.gitbooks.io/d-on-embedded-linux-arm/content/. The 
BeagleBone Black https://beagleboard.org/black is used as 
exemplary development board (a lot of information and tutorials 
available e.g. here http://exploringbeaglebone.com/, board 
hardware is extensible easily and in a modular manner with 
"capes" https://beagleboard.org/cape 
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Capes).

I'm interested in it as I'm planning to making my graphics engine 
usable on as many platforms as possible.

That's interesting. Might do some DIY robotics in future.

I would like to create a hardware abstraction layer for the 
BeagleBone Black (the board I am playing around with in my spare 
time which is very beginner friendly and flexible w.r.t. to 
hardware interfaces due to a lot of "capes" 
https://beagleboard.org/cape which are available for it) 
comparable with this HAL for embedded boards in Go 
https://github.com/kidoman/embd. This would allow people with 
little "low level" programming experience to play around with D 
on embedded linux as well. In the beginning porting some of the 
C++ classes from 
https://github.com/derekmolloy/exploringBB/tree/master/chp06 
could be a good starting point. Or does someone know another HAL 
implementation which could be more suitable as "template" to 
start with? However as always... motivation is high, time is 
limited. Feel free to join :)

...the complete C++ HAL can be found here:
