About this Organization

The goal of this organization is to host and maintain all kinds of tools and libraries useful for operating system development in Rust. We're happy about everyone that wants to join us! Just drop by in our gitter channel to request an invite.

Note that we are not an official Rust organization.

Projects

Currently we are hosting the following projects:

• x86_64: Provides general abstractions for x86_64 systems and access to architecture specific instructions and registers.
• bootloader: An experimental, pure-Rust, legacy bootloader.
• bootimage: A tool to transform a kernel ELF file into a bootable disk image.
• multiboot2-elf64: Allows parsing the boot information of the Multiboot2 standard for ELF64 kernels.
• acpi: Rust library for parsing ACPI tables and AML.
• uefi-rs: Rust library for interacting with UEFI firmware.
• ansi_rgb: Colorful console text using ANSI escape sequences.

Contributing

Contributions are more than welcome! If you have any suggestions, ideas, or projects you would like to host under this organization, don't hesitate to contact us!
