Serix Kernel

Serix is a next-generation operating system kernel written in Rust, booted via the modern Limine bootloader. The current status: a minimal kernel that paints the screen blue if successfully booted.

---

Features

• Boots on real hardware and QEMU using Limine (BIOS and UEFI supported)
• No std or OS dependencies
• Framebuffer initialized and cleared to blue as a visual bringup milestone

---

Building and Running

Prerequisites

• Nightly Rust toolchain (rustup default nightly and rustup target add x86_64-unknown-none)
• GNU Make
• QEMU (qemu-system-x86_64)
• xorriso
• git
• Internet connection (for Limine submodule)

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/gitcomit8/serix.git
cd serix
make run

This will:

• Build the kernel
• Prepare a bootable ISO image with Limine
• Launch in QEMU for instant feedback

You should see a solid blue screen upon successful boot.
