rCore Tutorial v3 - Build a RISC-V OS in Rust from Scratch
A comprehensive tutorial and codebase guiding you step-by-step to build a modern operating system kernel from scratch using Rust, targeting the RISC-V architecture. Ideal for learning OS principles and Rust systems programming.
Project Introduction
Summary
rCore Tutorial v3 is an open-source educational project that demystifies operating system development by providing a clear, step-by-step guide to building a fully functional kernel for RISC-V architecture using the Rust programming language.
Problem Solved
Traditional OS development is often perceived as complex and inaccessible. This project breaks down the process into manageable chapters, providing both theoretical explanations and practical code examples to make learning OS development on modern hardware and language approachable.
Core Features
Step-by-Step Guidance
Detailed explanations for each stage of kernel development, from booting to process management and system calls.
Rust Language Focus
Leverages Rust's safety features and modern programming paradigms for robust kernel code.
RISC-V Architecture Target
Focuses on the open and modern RISC-V instruction set architecture, relevant for embedded systems and modern computing.
Practical Examples
Includes runnable code examples for each chapter, allowing users to build and test the OS incrementally using simulators like QEMU.
