This repository will demonstrate how to set up a basic kernel in Rust using Limine.
Any make command depends on GNU make (gmake) and is expected to be run using it. This usually means using make on most GNU/Linux distros, or gmake on other non-GNU systems.
Additionally, building a HDD/USB image with make all-hdd requires sgdisk (usually from gdisk or gptfdisk packages) and mtools.
The KARCH make variable determines the target architecture to build the kernel and image for.
The default KARCH is x86_64. Other options include: aarch64, riscv64, and loongarch64.
Other architectures will need to be enabled in kernel/rust-toolchain.toml
Running make all will compile the kernel and then generate a raw image suitable to be flashed onto a USB stick or hard drive/SSD.
Running make run will build the kernel and a raw HDD image (equivalent to make all-hdd) and then run it using qemu (if installed).
