🌶️ Pimento

These are my experiments building an operating system in Rust that runs on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.

🏃 Quick start

You will need to install Nix before proceeding.

Start the Nix development shell:

nix develop

Build the kernel image and run it with QEMU:

cd cli
cargo make
cd ..

cd kernel
cargo make qemu

⚙️ Running on real hardware

This code is designed to run on real hardware using a tool like Pi Boot Chain. Alternatively, it can be installed on an SD card containing the Raspberry Pi firmware.
