Project Summary

Runikraft is a unikernel written in Rust language that runs on RISC-V architecture + QEMU platform. It is based on Unikraft implemented in C language; while inheriting the efficiency, customizability, good-compatibility and security of Unikraft, it further simplifies the building process of the OS image, adds support to RISC-V and enhances the kernel security via Rust language.

Directories Description

  • report: project reports for submission purpose
  • reference: references and bibliographies
  • core: core component of Runikraft
  • lib: micro-libraries

Getting Started

Quick Guideline

For Ubuntu 22.04 users, the following command will download, build and test Ruikraft:

sudo apt install git curl crossbuild-essential-riscv64 qemu-system-misc qemu-system-gui libncurses-dev bison flex socat
curl https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source ~/.cargo/env
rustup target add riscv64gc-unknown-none-elf
git clone --recursive https://github.com/OSH-2022/x-runikraft.git
cd x-runikraft
cargo fetch
make  # -j is not neccessary since make is just a wrapper to cargo

Building Runikraft

As different parts of this project were written in different languages, we use make as a universal building system. However, you may manually build each part separately without make.

To build everything without reports, install all the dependencies:

  • Rust compiler (rustc >= 1.59+cargo): you must install it via rustup, since rustc in distribution's software source usually does not support riscv64 target.
  • C compiler and binutils: any version of riscv64 cross-compile GCC should works.
  • QEMU (qemu-system-riscv64 >= 6.2.0): we did not test QEMU 5, but we known that QEMU 4 does not support RTC (real-time clock).

Then run:

make

Building the reports requires XeLaTeX (recommend TeX Live 2021+) and some CJK fonts:

  • Noto Serif CJK SC Regular+Bold, Noto Sans CJK SC DemiLight+Bold: apt install fonts-noto-cjk fonts-noto-cjk-extra, or download from here and here.
  • SimFang, SimKai: they are available in this repository. (sorry for using non-free fonts, for we haven't found free alternatives yet)

Then run:

make report

Contributing to Runikraft

This is only a course project, which will no longer be developed or maintained after this semester. Therefore, directly contributing to this repository may not be accepted. However, if you are interested in Runikraft and want to develop a derived work of it, please do not directly fork this repository as it contains many unrelated files like reports and references. Instead, just create a new repository and upload necessary files in this repository.

The copyright condition of image files (including but not limited to image/jpeg, image/png, etc.) are complex, because most of them are not our own works but are extracted from bibliographies.
