Has anyone heard of this? It sounds a little sensationalist, but interesting nonetheless. The idea is to be able to make an OS that would be able to run on scavenged chips in a post-manufacturing environment.
When the dust settles, the only survivors will be cockroaches and CP/M.

Collapse OS
Bootstrap post-collapse technology
Winter is coming and Collapse OS aims to soften the blow. It is a z80 kernel and a collection of programs, tools and documentation that allows you to assemble an OS that can:
Run on minimal and improvised machines.
Interface through improvised means (serial, keyboard, display).
Edit text files.
Compile assembler source files for a wide range of MCUs and CPUs.
Read and write from a wide range of storage devices.
Replicate itself.
