Show HN: A DOS-like hobby OS written in Rust and x86 assembly

1 week ago 1

A second iteration of the RoureXOS operating system, rewritten in Rust.

rou2exOS startup

To run the OS, you can use the attached ISO image from any Release, and run it in QEMU emulator. The system was also tested on x86_64 baremetal (booted from the USB flash disk).

# install Rust and its dependencies make init # make sure you have `xorriso`, `net-tools` and `grub2-tools` (or just grub-tools) installed (Linux) dnf install xorriso net-tools grub2-tools qemu qemu-common qemu-system-x86 # compile the kernel and stage2 bootloader, link it into an ELF binary and bake into an ISO # image with GRUB stage1 bootloader make build # run the QEMU emulation with ISO image (respectively with additional floppy image attached as well) make run_iso make run_iso_floppy # (alternative) run the kernel exclusively only (needs the `bootloader` dependency in Cargo.toml to be added) cargo bootimage make run

Run the kernel in QEMU to get the pty number in stdout:

make run char device redirected to /dev/pts/3 (label serial0)

Listen for SLIP packets and create a sl0 interface:

sudo slattach -L -p slip -s 115200 /dev/pts/3 sudo ifconfig sl0 192.168.3.1 pointopoint 192.168.3.2 up

Catch packets using tcpdump:
