Manticore is a clean-slate research operating system, written in the [Rust programming language](https://www.rust-lang.org/), with the aim of exploring the [parakernel](http://penberg.org/parakernel-hotos19.pdf) OS architecture.
Please refer to the [project homepage](https://manticoreos.io/) for more information.
## Getting Started
### Building from Sources
First, install the toolchain, which includes [`rustup`](https://rustup.rs/), Rust, and other dependencies:
```
./scripts/install-toolchain
```Now that you have the toolchain installed, you can build Manticore with:
```
make
```The build system generates a `kernel.iso` image, which you can launch under QEMU with:
```
$ ./scripts/run kernel.iso
```For more information, see [Manticore Hacker's Guide](HACKING.md).
### Running Example Applications
Once `kernel.elf` is built, you can build an user space echo server with:
```
$ make -C usr/echod
```and launch it under QEMU with:
```
$ ./scripts/run --publish 7777/udp usr/echod/echod.iso
```You can now communicate with the echo server with:
```
$ nc -u4 localhost 7777
hello
hello
```### Supported Hardware
* Legacy-free PC with a 64-bit x86 processor
* xAPIC2 interrupt controller
* MSI-X interrupt delivery
* PCIe 3.0 bus
* VirtIO network device### Code Structure
Manticore's code is structured into different directories as follows:
* [`arch`](./arch): machine architecture specific code
* [`drivers`](./drivers): device drivers
* [`virtio`](./drivers/virtio): VirtIO device drivers
* [`pci`](./drivers/pci): PCIe device drivers
* [`kernel`](./kernel): kernel services (e.g., process scheduling and system calls)
* [`lib`](./lib): support libraries
* [`mm`](./mm): memory management (e.g., virtual memory manager and kernel dynamic memory allocator)
* [`usr`](./usr): user space libraries and example applications
