# bootproof
|
|
Messing around with UEFI apps.
|
|
|
|
I don't have a specific goal here.
|
|
My general direction is to work towards a bootable programming language environment,
|
|
preferably one where security and allocation etc. are handled through the programming language
|
|
rather than through a traditional operating system.
|
|
I don't seriously expect to ever accomplish that, so for now I'm probably just going to...
|
|
make a forth or something.
|
|
|
|
## System Requirements
|
|
Other configurations may work, but only these systems are regularly tested.
|
|
* CPU: x86_64 QEMU, OVMF UEFI.
|
|
* Memory: 128 MB. (64 MB appears to be the minimum required to load OVMF at all. Real hardware might require less?)
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
bootproof runs on x86_64 UEFI. You may either boot the program directly on your own computer or use an emulator.
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have the `cargo-xbuild` crate installed and nightly Rust so you can compile to the UEFI target.
|
|
|
|
First, build with:
|
|
```
|
|
cargo xbuild --target x86_64-unknown-uefi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And to run, `./run.sh` will launch bootproof in QEMU.
