Writing an OS in Rust - Part 1 - A Freestanding Rust Binary

This is my version of Philipp Oppermann’s “BlogOS“. It’s a baremetal operating system that can boot off of a USB stick on any BIOS-compatible machine, which is pretty amazing. I’m going to be following the whole blog, one video at a time, and running the OS using QEMU instead of booting a physical machine. Just to keep things simple. Full playlist: Livestream: This first video goes through the basics of creating a standalone (or “freestanding“ to use the terminnoloy in the blog post) executable in Rust, eschewing the rust startup code, the libc requirement, and even the rust standard library.
