Prof. Wirth built the system by meticulously transferring everything
across the RS232 link, using a special Inner Core imported by a simple
command interpreter on the RISC5 called Oberon0. See section 14.1 of
the book:

Since this process depended heavily on another Oberon system on a host
computer, I made some rather hacky cross-tools to build a downloadable
SD-card image for projectoberon.com.
I explained some of the (mainly defensive) rationale for the format of
the RISC.img image in a previous post:
