DSOS (Dead Simple Operating System)

A hobby x86_64 kernel written in Rust.

Requirements

• Rust nightly toolchain (the project uses Cargo's unstable bindeps)
• The x86_64-unknown-none target installed: rustup +nightly target add x86_64-unknown-none
• QEMU (brew install qemu on macOS)

Building and running

cargo +nightly run

This builds the kernel (kernel/) for x86_64-unknown-none, builds a BIOS disk image via the host-side runner/ crate (using bootloader 0.11's DiskImageBuilder), and launches QEMU.

Layout

• kernel/ — the kernel itself (no_std, no_main). Uses bootloader_api 0.11.
• runner/ — host-side binary that builds the bootable disk image and launches QEMU.
• docs/superpowers/ — design specs and implementation plans.
