Echo

A simple operating system written in Rust called Echo. This is due to it only being made to output to a console much like the echo command because making a GUI is painful.

Building

You can build the project by running:

cargo build

This also creates a bootable image for both BIOS and UEFI located at

target/debug/build/echo-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/out/

Running

You can run the disk image in QEMU through:

cargo run

QEMU needs to be installed for this. You can also write the image to a USB stick for booting it on a real machine. On Linux, the command for this is:

dd if=target/x86_64-echo/debug/bootimage-echo.bin of=/dev/sdX && sync

Where sdX is the device name of your USB stick. Be careful to choose the correct device name, because everything on that device is overwritten.
