Small kernel written as part of my bachelor thesis.
To compile the project just run make. The subsections Ubuntu and Arch Linux
describe how to install all dependencies (qemu is only needed if you want to run
the kernel with qemu).
Compiling may fail on the first try requiring to execute rustup component add rust-src
The kernel image will be located at build/aarch64/kernel.bin
Install rustup by following the instructions on https://rustup.rs/
apt install build-essential
apt install lld-6.0
apt install qemu-system-aarch64
cargo install cargo-xbuild
Because the lld executable has the name lld-6.0 we either need to change the linker name in the make file or crate a symbolic link
ln -s /usr/bin/lld-6.0 /usr/bin/ld.lld
pacman -S base-devel
pacman -S rustup
pacman -S lld
pacman -S qemu-arch-extra
cargo install cargo-xbuild
Depending on the target hardware you may need to change the configuration in the
file config.toml
Execute the qemu.sh script.
To run it on real hardware just replace the Linux image with kernel on a working boot loader + Linux setup. It was only tested with the phyCORE-i.MX 8M.
