An application template for Hermit for Rust.

• rustup
• QEMU or Uhyve for running the application

(this is already done in this repo)

• Add the hermit dependency for hermit targets in Cargo.toml.

  cargo add --target 'cfg(target_os = "hermit")' hermit

• Make sure we link against hermit in main.rs:

  #[cfg(target_os = "hermit")]
  use hermit as _;

See rust-std-hermit.

Note that rust-std-hermit is not available for the stable toolchain channel but for specific channels of stable Rust versions. See rust-toolchain.toml.

$ cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-hermit

$ uhyve target/x86_64-unknown-hermit/debug/hermit-rs-template

For more details, see uhyve's README.
