This post explores unit and integration testing in no_std executables. We will use Rust’s support for custom test frameworks to execute test functions inside our kernel. To report the results out of QEMU, we will use different features of Q...
This post shows how to implement paging support in our kernel. It first explores different techniques to make the physical page table frames accessible to the kernel and discusses their respective advantages and drawbacks. It then implement...

This post introduces paging, a very common memory management scheme that we will also use for our operating system. It explains why memory isolation is needed, how segmentation works, what virtual memory is, and how paging solves memory fra...
In this post, we set up the programmable interrupt controller to correctly forward hardware interrupts to the CPU. To handle these interrupts, we add new entries to our interrupt descriptor table, just like we did for our exception handlers...
Deprecated: This post is deprecated in favor of the Testing post and will no longer receive updates. To complete the testing picture we implement a basic integration test framework, which allows us to run tests on the target system. The ide...
This blog series creates a small operating system in the Rust programming language. Each post is a small tutorial and includes all needed code, so you can follow along if you like. The source code is also available in the corresponding Gith...
Deprecated: This post is deprecated in favor of the Testing post and will no longer receive updates. This post explores unit testing in no_std executables using Rust’s built-in test framework. We will adjust our code so that cargo test work...
