Project Title

rust-raspberrypi-OS-tutorials — Learn to write an embedded OS in Rust for Raspberry Pi

Overview

rust-raspberrypi-OS-tutorials is a comprehensive tutorial series designed for hobby OS developers who are new to ARM's 64-bit ARMv8-A architecture. The project offers a step-by-step guide to writing a monolithic Operating System kernel for an embedded system from scratch, leveraging Rust's unique features for safety and speed.

Key Features

Step-by-step tutorials for writing an embedded OS in Rust
Covers common OS tasks like serial console writing, virtual memory setup, and HW exception handling
Supports Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi 4, with modular code for easy porting to other architectures
Extensively documented code for easy understanding and reference

Use Cases

Hobby OS developers looking to learn ARMv8-A architecture and Rust for embedded systems
Educators and students in computer science or embedded systems courses
Developers interested in creating custom operating systems for Raspberry Pi devices

Advantages

Provides a practical, hands-on approach to learning embedded OS development
Utilizes Rust, a modern language known for safety and performance
Offers modular code that can be adapted to other architectures and boards

Limitations / Considerations

Primarily targeted at Linux-based distributions, with experimental support for macOS
Requires a basic understanding of Rust and embedded systems development
Some tutorials may require additional setup, such as Docker Engine installation

OSDev Wiki: A comprehensive resource for OS development, including tutorials and guides, but not specific to Rust or Raspberry Pi.
Rust Embedded Working Group: A collection of Rust crates and resources for embedded systems development, offering a broader scope than this project.
Bare Metal Rust: A guide to using Rust for bare-metal development, which may overlap with some concepts in this project but focuses on a wider range of platforms.
