a project to learn how to make an OS.

Usage

• Frist you need to install rust nighty

  rustup default nightly

• then just in case we add this component to rustup

  rustup component add rust-src --toolchain nightly-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

by the way, I think this is only on Windows if you have another OS you can avoid this part.

• then you type:

cargo install bootimage;cargo bootimage

remember cargo install bootimage is only for install

then you can do cargo bootimage where src/main.rs is update or not

• a .bin file will be made in the debug folder of the project now you can boot it in a virtual machine or copy it to a USB drive to boot it on real hardware

Example

we are using QEMU how a vertual machine

qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=target\x86_64\debug\bootimage-kernrust-toolchainel.bin
