Getting Started

You will need a risc-v toolchain which you can aquire using the instruction at (https://github.com/riscv-collab/riscv-gnu-toolchain).

riscv64-unknown-elf-as riscv64-unknown-elf-ld

You will also want to consult the risc-v specifications: https://riscv.org/technical/specifications/

You will also need qemu risc-v the instructions for compiling/installing can be found https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/riscv/virt.html

You will also want to reference the virt.c implementation for qemu's risc-v emulator: https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/hw/riscv/virt.c

Compiling our bootloader

Compilation Step: riscv64-unknown-elf-as boot.S -o boot.o

Linking Step: riscv64-unknown-elf-ld -T kernel.lds boot.o -o kernel.elf
