Short Term Goals

• Good enough x64 support for QEMU (virtio drivers)
• Userspace, no GUI
• ext2 on NVMe

Planned Features

• x64, ARM64 and RISC-V
• First class Zig support
• Userspace with GUI
• All functionality implemented in Zig either in repo or as a package, allowances might be made for things like ACPICA.

Build, testing, running

Prerequisites:

• zig master (0.13.0-dev.46+3648d7df1)
• qemu (optional; used for running and host testing)

Run the x64 kernel in QEMU:

zig build run_x64

List all available build targets:
