Inspired by

  • rCore Rust version of THU uCore OS, teaching operating system. Linux compatible.

  • Writing an OS in Rust An os blog. This blog series creates a small operating system in the Rust programming language.

  • Redox Redox is an operating system written in Rust, a language with focus on safety and high performance. Redox, following the microkernel design, aims to be secure, usable, and free.

  • xv6-riscv xv6 is a teaching operating system developed for MIT's operating systems course. It is a re-implementation of Dennis Ritchie's and Ken Thompson's Unix Version 6 (v6). xv6 loosely follows the structure and style of v6, but is implemented for a modern RISC-V multiprocessor using ANSI C.

  • Linux The linux kernel.
