README
# **InfinityOS**
>[!IMPORTANT]
>InfinityOS is still in very early development, is being developed on and off, and is currently not ready for normal usage.
Welcome to **InfinityOS**, an experimental operating system written in Rust. This project explores the boundaries of Rust in systems programming and serves as a platform for learning and innovation.
## **Features**
- **Rust-Powered**: Fully written in Rust, focusing on safety, performance, and modern systems programming practices.
- **Bare Metal Development**: Runs directly on hardware, without relying on an existing operating system.
- **Learning-Oriented**: Aimed at understanding OS architecture, low-level programming, and Rust's capabilities in systems development.
- **Modular Design**: Designed for extensibility and future feature development.
## Building
This project requires a nightly version of Rust because it uses some unstable features. At least nightly _2020-07-15_ is required for building. You might need to run `rustup update nightly --force` to update to the latest nightly even if some components such as `rustfmt` are missing it.
You can build the project by running:
```
cargo build
```
To create a bootable disk image from the compiled kernel, you need to install the [`bootimage`] tool:
[`bootimage`]: https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootimage
```
cargo install bootimage
```
After installing, you can create the bootable disk image by running:
```
cargo bootimage
```
This creates a bootable disk image in the `target/x86_64-infinity_os/debug` directory.
Please file an issue if you have any problems.
## Running
You can run the disk image in [QEMU] through:
[QEMU]: https://www.qemu.org/
```
cargo run
```
[QEMU] and the [`bootimage`] tool need to be installed for this.
You can also write the image to an USB stick for booting it on a real machine. On Linux, the command for this is:
```
dd if=target/x86_64-infinity_os/release/bootimage-infinity_os.bin of=/dev/sdX && sync
```
Where `sdX` is the device name of your USB stick. **Be careful** to choose the correct device name, because everything on that device is overwritten.
## Testing
>[!NOTE]
>You will need QEMU to test properly
To run the unit and integration tests, execute `cargo test`.
