How to build

• Download dependencies:

sudo apt-get install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu qemu-system-arm

• Build kernel8.img:

make

• Build kernel8.img with some debug information:

# Options:
#   MM_DEBUG
#   DEMANDING_PAGE_DEBUG
make MM_DEBUG=1
make DEMANDING_PAGE_DEBUG=1

• Build myos.img (which you can dd to SD card):

make image

How to run

• Qemu emulation:

make qemu

• You should either attach gdb to qemu, or just remove the arugments -s -S passed to qemu in the Makefile

• Qemu will emulate the bootloader and you can then attach to the bootloader shell with:

sudo screen /dev/pts/<pts_idx>

• In the bootloader shell, you can use the command load to ask the bootloader to load the kernel image. After entering the load command, you can send the kernel image to the bootloader with the following command:

sudo ./tools/loadkernel.py /dev/pts/<pts_id> build/kernel8.img

How to burn it into pi3

sudo dd if=./build/myos.img of=/dev/<your SD card device>
