# x86 kernel
> a simple x86 kernel, extended with Rust
this is my work following along with a [@phil-opp][2]'s blog post series ["A minimal x86 kernel"][1]
## prerequisites
### virtualization
> (if you are on OSX, ChromeOS, Windows, etc)
- [Vagrant]: development environment manager
- [VirtualBox]: virtualizer
- [XQuartz]: X11 Graphics
### linux dependencies
- `nasm`: assembler (assembly -> binary)
- `ld`: linker (makes binary out of other files)
- `grub`: creates the bootable iso
- `xorriso`: req'd by grub, filesystem manipulator
- `QEMU`: fake-computer emulator
### utilities
you don't need these, but they are nice for viewing
generated code.
- `hexdump`: allows you to view generated binary
- `objdump`: a nicer viewer for .o files
## up and running
1. fork and clone this repository
2. navigate into the repo directory: `cd x86-kernel`
3. `$ vagrant up`
4. `$ vagrant ssh -- -Y`
`-- -Y` forwards graphics
5. `$ multirust default nightly-2015-11-19`
Sets your default rust to a stable nightly.
The features needed to do OS work in Rust are
not yet in a stable release, so you must use
a nightly build.
6. `$ cd /vagrant`
The `/vagrant` directory is the virtualized directory
that is synced with the `/` directory on your HD.
7. `$ make run`
