A portable kernel written in Rust.

1. Install Rust via rustup.

Instructions are available here.

2. Install bootimage.

cargo install bootimage

3. Build the kernel.

cargo bootimage --target x86_64-deus.json -Zbuild-std

Run the disk image using QEMU through bootimage (requires qemu-system-x86).

cargo bootimage run

Alternatively, run the generated disk image using QEMU directly.

qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=target/x86_64-deus/debug/bootimage-deus.bin

Alternatively, write the disk image to an external device to boot it on a real machine.

dd if=target/x86_64-deus/debug/bootimage-deus.bin of=/dev/MY_DEVICE && sync
