This project is an experiment to learn Kernel and OS development concepts. It's a small operating system in the Rust programming language following the Writting an OS in Rust series. It only supports x86.
- Linux system
- rustup
- qemu run
sudo apt install qemu-system-x86
Clone the project and in the project root run the following commands.
- llvm-tools-preview run
rustup component add llvm-tools-preview - rust-src run
rustup component add rust-src - bootimage run
cargo install bootimage
This project requires a nightly version of Rust because it uses some unstable features. At least nightly 2020-07-15 is required for building. You might need to run rustup update nightly --force to update to the latest nightly even if some components such as rustfmt are missing it.
You can build the project by running:
cargo build
To create a bootable disk image from the compiled kernel, you need to install the bootimage tool:
cargo install bootimage
After installing, you can create the bootable disk image by running:
cargo bootimage
This creates a bootable disk image in the target/x86_64-simple_os/debug directory.
You can run the disk image in QEMU through:
cargo run
QEMU and the bootimage tool need to be installed for this.
You can also write the image to an USB stick for booting it on a real machine. On Linux, the command for this is:
dd if=target/x86_64-simple_os/debug/bootimage-blog_os.bin of=/dev/sdX && sync
Where sdX is the device name of your USB stick. Be careful to choose the correct device name, because everything on that device is overwritten.
