dvOS

Learning what goes into making an operating system 🤯
Also, I just wanted to practice rust 🤷🏻

How To

📦 Build

• Install rust nightly

  $ rustup update nightly --force

• Set nightly as default

  $ rustup override set nightly

• Install bootimage

  $ cargo install bootimage

• Build the project

  $ cargo build

💻 Run

• Run on QEMU

  $ cargo run

• Run on Real Machine

  Build the project

  $ cargo build

  Connect an USB drive, and run

  $ dd if=target/x86_64-dv_os/release/bootimage-dv_os.bin of=/dev/sdX && sync

  Replace sdX with the location of the usb drive. Use this usb as bootable drive in the machine.

  Note: All the data in the usb drive will be overwritten.

✅ Test

• Run tests

  $ cargo test
