# rustboot64

A tiny 64-bit "kernel" written in Rust.

I was inspired to download Rust and try to do this after seeing [rustboot](https://github.com/charliesome/rustboot) which was limited to 32-bit operation on a single CPU.

rustboot64 makes use of [Pure64](https://github.com/returninfinity/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:

## Setup

You need a few things to run rustboot64:

1. `qemu`

2. `ld`

3. `nasm`

4. Rust's `master` branch or 0.13 release.

### Linux

	git clone https://github.com/IanSeyler/rustboot64.git

## Running it

To compile, simply

```bash

$ make

```

To run,

```bash

$ make run
