# Simple UEFI QEMU runner for HexOS
A modified version of the [disk image creation template](https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootloader/blob/main/docs/create-disk-image.md) from the [rust-osdev bootloader repo](https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootloader). Unlike the template, this runner is UEFI-only but otherwise very similar.

# HexOS
Status: kernel builds and runs in QEMU
Goal: a simple graphical desktop
Stretch goal: explore desktop-specific OS design
Primary resources:
- [Writing an OS in Rust](https://os.phil-opp.com), kernel written loosely following this guide
- [OSDev Wiki](https://wiki.osdev.org/Main_Page) for more specific documentation
- [UEFI, PC boot process and UEFI with QEMU](https://joonas.fi/2021/02/uefi-pc-boot-process-and-uefi-with-qemu) for learning about UEFI
- [Rust Embedded Raspberry Pi OS](https://github.com/rust-embedded/rust-raspberrypi-OS-tutorials) as another Rust OS reference
## Building
Requires the `rust-src` component and the `x86_64-unknown-none` (nightly) target from rustup, along with `qemu-system-x86_64`. Then just `cargo run`!
