Limine is a multiprotocol operating system bootloader that bridges low-level hardware initialization and system software across legacy BIOS and modern UEFI firmware environments. It executes directly on bare-metal hardware without an underlying operating system kernel or standard C library, parsing storage media and filesystems during the early boot sequence before OS drivers load. The software targets diverse processor architectures including x86, ARM, RISC-V, and LoongArch through discrete target binaries built from shared source code. It reads files directly from FAT and ISO9660 storage f

This project is a pure-Rust bootloader and firmware loader designed for x86 operating system development. It initializes bare-metal hardware and loads compiled operating system kernels from both legacy BIOS and modern UEFI firmware environments into a running state. The software utilizes a dual-firmware boot architecture and a pure-rust low-level runtime to handle hardware initialization and memory management without relying on standard library runtimes. It provides automated disk image packaging to combine compiled kernels and bootloader binaries into ready-to-boot FAT-formatted disk images
