kernel

Overview

BlueOS Kernel is a Rust-based operating system kernel designed as a lightweight, general-purpose foundation. It provides compatibility with POSIX interfaces and supports Rust's standard library, helping developers build software for the kernel using Rust. The project includes CPU architecture support, scheduling, synchronization, asynchronous execution, memory management, filesystem, networking, and device subsystems. Developers can follow the project's documentation to prepare a build environment, build a customized Rust toolchain, and work with the kernel. Supported architectures include ARM32, ARM64, RISC-V 32-bit, and RISC-V 64-bit, with QEMU platforms available.

Key features

• POSIX interface compatibility and Rust standard library support
• Support for ARM32, ARM64, RISC-V 32-bit, and RISC-V 64-bit
• QEMU platforms for the supported architectures
• Kernel subsystems for scheduling, memory management, filesystems, networking, and devices

Best for

Kernel developers who want to explore or build a Rust-based operating system for the listed ARM and RISC-V architectures. The project documentation provides guidance for setting up the toolchain and building the kernel.
