tempbottle / rust_os

An OS kernel written in rust. Non POSIX

"Tifflin" Experimental Kernel (and eventually Operating System)

This is an experiment in writing an OS Kernel in rust (http://rust-lang.org).

Mostly the architecture is being designed as I go along, but it will be written to be architecture independent (the current verison is x86_64/amd64).

Design Features

• Runtime module initialisation with dependencies
• Clear user-kernel separation of duties
• Userland owns the ELF loader, kernel uses a custom format for init.
• Object-based syscall API
