Rust-powered OS following the https://os.phil-opp.com/ tutorial

Requires

• Rust Nightly
  • In short, rustup toolchain install nightly installs the nightly build and rustup override set nightly sets the toolchain as nightly for this project directory
• rust-src component (install with rustup component add rust-src)
• bootimage tool to compile kernal and bootloader and then link the two together after, creating a bootable disk image.
  • Install with cargo install bootimage
  • Requires llvm-tools-preview rustup component (install with rustup component add llvm-tools-preview).

Build: cargo build or specify the verbose build target with cargo build --target x86-64-blog-os.json Create a bootable disk: cargo bootimage

Boot in QEMU: qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=target/x86-64-blog-os/debug/bootimage-rust-os.bin

This opens a window like:

Run dd if=target/x86-64-blog-os/debug/bootimage-rust-os.bin of=/dev/sdX && sync

NOTE (from os.phil-opp.com):

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.

Compile kernal and boot into QEMU with cargo run

Simply run cargo test in the root directory.
