Charlotte Core is a hybrid operating system kernel developed as a part of CharlotteOS.

Charlotte Core is in very early development. Run it at your own risk.

Charlotte Core is written in Rust and Assembly language

• x86-64 PCs with UEFI and ACPI (In Progress)
• Aarch64 devices with UEFI and ACPI (In Progress)
• RISC-V devices with UEFI and ACPI (Not under active development yet)

The following commands are used to build the debug and release versions of the kernel.

make build-x86_64-debug    # debug
make build-x86_64-release  # release

make run-x86_64-debug    # For testing a debug build in qemu
make run-x86_64-release  # For testing a release build in qemu

The x86_64 portion of any of the previous commands can be replaced with aarch64 or riscv64 to build the kernel for the Arm and RISC-V architectures respectively however it should be noted that support for these ISAs is much less complete than for x86_64 for the time being.

Detailed documentation will eventually be available on the project's wiki and website.
