The act of booting and running a system image on either an emulator or physical hardware.
Distinct from Disk Image Writers: Covers both emulation and physical execution, whereas Disk Image Writers only cover physical writing.

This project is a freestanding kernel written in Rust that boots on x86 hardware without a standard library. It serves as a low-level system implementation focusing on the creation of a bare metal operating system. The system implements a bootable disk image toolchain that transforms source code into binaries compatible with a bootloader. It features a custom memory allocator for dynamic memory management and an x86 kernel implementation that includes paging, interrupt handling, and VGA text mode. The project covers several core capability areas, including low-level memory management through
Runs compiled disk images in emulators or boots them on physical hardware.
Unikraft is a modular library operating system and unikernel framework designed to compile applications into minimal, bootable virtual machine images. It serves as an OCI-compliant image builder and a cloud-native hypervisor target, enabling the creation of specialized runtimes that include only the specific drivers and libraries required by a single application. The system features a Linux compatibility layer that maps standard API calls and POSIX standards to unikernel libraries, allowing unmodified binaries to run without a full general-purpose kernel. It distinguishes itself by allowing c
Boots compiled unikernel images within a virtual machine monitor to execute applications without a full OS.
This project provides an educational framework and laboratory environment for learning operating system kernel development specifically for the RISC-V architecture. It serves as a structured course that guides users through the process of building a functional kernel from scratch, offering the necessary resources to understand low-level system programming and architecture-specific software implementation. The toolkit distinguishes itself by integrating a complete development environment that bridges the gap between source code and hardware execution. It includes automated build scripts for cr
Launches compiled operating systems within virtualized environments to test core functionality.
