An operating system written in Rust
If you are not on i686:
- run
./downloadrustlibdir.shto download the i686 nightly libraries
Compile:
make
Run:
make run
The way I've got this set-up is that mattico/master tracks mvdnes/master (for now) so that I can keep in sync. Most of the changes I've made since deciding on this system are on the /dev branch, where I've changed the build system a little bit to add a (not yet working) x86_64 target among other things. On /dev check the Makefile for new build targets. All of the other branches have /dev as their base.
/serial has a working serial driver which is close to being fully featured. Use ESC-2 in QEMU to see the serial console.
/libcpuid was an attempt to use rust-libcpuid for cpuid stuff that I stopped when I realized that I'd need to make a lot of changes to deal with #![no_std].
/oo-cpuid is an attempt to make a rust-native cpuid library that has gone through a lot of orginizational upheaval while I was trying to think of the best interface to expose. Now, I figure that I'll use a much simpler set of functions for just the stuff the kernel needs and let a more fully featured cpuid live in userspace.
/pae is an obsolete branch where I was going to implement PAE. Most of this stuff is pretty half-baked for now. Maybe I'll get around to it soon.
