How to automate building and running the project using make; in particular, leveraging variables in the Makefile to elegantly apply the same command line options for compiling each file in the codebase - because trust me, you'll need a ton of command-line options ;-) For this, I based my initial Makefile on that found in the source code for "The Adventures of OS", e.g. this

I would like to thank the authors of RISC-V from scratch and The Adventures of OS for their high-quality articles that go into great detail on how RISC-V works. Without their well-written articles, I wouldn't have known how to get started with kernel development on RISC-V. My initial project setup - the minimal C runtime crt0.s in assembly and the linker script riscv64-virt.lds - is based on the former, while my UART driver code is adapted from the latter and I intend to closely follow the latter going forward.

Here's an example of an interrupt routine (m_trap_vector): https://github.com/sgmarz/osblog/blob/master/risc_v/src/asm/trap.S

The Rust Book - Comprehensive guide to the language

Recently I got this obsession to learn Rust. While there are plenty of documentation around, like Rust Book, some good published books, tutorials, rustling, I always struggle to learn something when I am not doing something practical, so I have decided to go to my comfort zone and write a Kubernetes Controller using kube-rs.

My knowledge of Rust is rudimentary at best - if you asked me a week ago I would've told you it was nonexistent. When I started working on this my immediate thought process was to go and "learn Rust" - as in go read the Rust book. I was in the middle of reading what an integer was when I realized it probably wasn't the best use of my time.

The Rise of Go and Rust: For those looking at future coding languages 2025, Go and Rust are getting a lot of attention. Go, made by Google, is known for its speed and ability to handle many tasks at once, which makes it great for cloud work. Rust, on the other hand, is praised for its focus on preventing memory mistakes and for being very fast, making it a top choice for low-level programming. Both are becoming more popular, as seen in Google searches and industry surveys. Actionable Tip: Start by writing a few simple programs in Go or Rust. The Go documentation and Rust Book have easy-to-follow lessons that build your skills step by step.

Finish again The Book.

Rust was all the hype, and I gave it a try. I read the Rust book and created some small programs. I enjoyed the type system, iterators and borrow checker. But I got lost in macros. To me, a program's code should be as explicit as possible.

The Rust Book

In this article, I’ve hopefully given you some foundational breadcrumbs in the Rust language. Take these and go off to do your reading, research, and practice. As always, I recommend The Rust Programming Language for further reading and detail.
