[![Azure Pipelines CI build](https://img.shields.io/azure-devops/build/phil-opp/blog_os/1/post-08.svg?label=Build&style=flat-square)](https://dev.azure.com/phil-opp/blog_os/_build?definitionId=1)
This repository contains the source code for the [Paging Implementation][post] post of the [Writing an OS in Rust](https://os.phil-opp.com) series.

**Check out the [master branch](https://github.com/phil-opp/blog_os) for more information.**
## Building
You need a nightly Rust compiler. First you need to install the `cargo-xbuild` and `bootimage` tools:
```
cargo install cargo-xbuild bootimage
```
Then you can build the project by running:
```
cargo xbuild
```
To create a bootable disk image, run:
```
cargo bootimage
```
This creates a bootable disk image in the `target/x86_64-blog_os/debug` directory.
Please file an issue if you have any problems.
## Running
You can run the disk image in [QEMU] through:
[QEMU]: https://www.qemu.org/
```
cargo xrun
```
Of course [QEMU] needs to be installed for this.
You can also write the image to an USB stick for booting it on a real machine. On Linux, the command for this is:
```
dd if=target/x86_64-blog_os/debug/bootimage-blog_os.bin of=/dev/sdX && sync
```
Where `sdX` is the device name of your USB stick. **Be careful** to choose the correct device name, because everything on that device is overwritten.
## Testing
To run the unit and integration tests, execute `cargo xtest`.
