A tiny 64-bit "kernel" written in Rust.
I was inspired to download Rust and try to do this after seeing rustboot which was limited to 32-bit operation on a single CPU.
rustboot64 makes use of Pure64 to get the system into 64-bit mode, gather required details for operations, as well as enabling all available CPU cores.
At the moment, it paints the screen bright blue and then hangs. That's it:
You need a few things to run rustboot64:
qemu
ld
nasm
- Rust's
master
branch or 0.13 release.
git clone https://github.com/IanSeyler/rustboot64.git
To compile, simply
$ make
To run,
$ make run
