Introduction

See the corresponding blog post

Prerequisites

  • Clang or GCC (with support for i386 targets)
  • GNU binutils
  • QEMU / Bochs (for testing and debugging)
  • A PC supporting USB boot in BIOS ("legacy") mode
  • A spare USB disk / SD card

Note for Mac users: clang in the latest XCode doesn't support i386, and homebrew's binutils doesn't include GNU ld. I recommend installing MacPorts and their i386-elf-gcc & i386-elf-binutils packages, and updating Makefile accordingly

Compiling:

$ make

Testing in emulators:

$ make qemu APP=snake
$ make bochs APP=hexview

Installing on a USB disk / SD card:

Be careful to pick the right device, this will destroy your data!

$ make disk APP=hello
$ sudo dd if=build/disk.img of=/dev/<USB DISK>
