xv6 is a re-implementation of Dennis Ritchie's and Ken Thompson's Unix
|
|
|
|
|
Version 6 (v6). xv6 loosely follows the structure and style of v6,

|
|
|
but is implemented for a modern RISC-V multiprocessor using ANSI C.

Please send errors and suggestions to Frans Kaashoek and Robert Morris
|
|
|
|
|
(kaashoek,rtm@mit.edu). The main purpose of xv6 is as a teaching
|
|
|
|
|
operating system for MIT's 6.828, so we are more interested in
|
|
|
|
|
simplifications and clarifications than new features.

You will need a RISC-V "newlib" tool chain from
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain, and qemu compiled for
|
|
|
|
|
riscv64-softmmu. Once they are installed, and in your shell
|
|
|
|
|
search path, you can run "make qemu".
