A brief example of the use of the Zigvale library in a bare-bones kernel.
Zigvale Barebones Kernel
This is a brief example of how to use the Zigvale library for the stivale2 boot protocol in a simple kernel. Zigvale can be found here.
Build
To build this, you will need a recent build of Zig, and the zigmod package manager.
# Fetch Zigvale & Limine bootloader
zigmod ci
# Build the kernel
zig build iso
Run
QEMU
To run this with QEMU, you (obviously) need QEMU installed with x86 support.
# Run the kernel in QEMU
zig build run
Bare Metal
The kernel is built for x86. To run it, flash the iso you built (found in zig-out/iso/zigvale-barebones.iso) to a removable medium, and boot to it.
