AUTON

This is a pet project to write a small Kernel in Rust for the RISC-V 64GC architecture, targeting the QEMU virt machine.

Dependencies

A minimal dependency approach is used in this project. The following dependencies are used:

• fdt: Used for parsing the device tree to avoid the redundant work of parsing it manually (boring).
• embedded-io: This crate provides Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) traits for I/O operations, which are used for convenience.

Nightly Features

This project uses nightly Rust features. You will need to use a nightly toolchain to build and run it.

Setup

1. Install a nightly Rust toolchain. You can do this using rustup:

   rustup toolchain install nightly
   rustup default nightly

2. Add the riscv64gc-unknown-none-elf target:

   rustup target add riscv64gc-unknown-none-elf

3. Install QEMU. On macOS, you can use Homebrew:

   brew install qemu

Running

To run the OS in QEMU, use the following command:

cargo run
