This version is the very first one, so don't be surprised if there are errors or the code is unclear. -The code in the files that constitute xv6 are copyrighted, 2006, Frans -Kaashoek, Robert Morris, and Russ Cox. +The code in the files that constitute xv6 are +Copyright 2006 Frans Kaashoek, Robert Morris, and Russ Cox. + + +To build xv6 on an x86 ELF machine (like Linux or FreeBSD), run "make". +On non-x86 or non-ELF machines (like OS X, even on x86), you will +need to install a cross-compiler gcc suite capable of producing x86 ELF +binaries. See http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2006/tools.html. +Then run "make TOOLPREFIX=i386-jos-elf-". + +To run xv6, you can use Bochs or QEMU, both PC simulators. Bochs makes +debugging easier, but QEMU is much faster. +To run in Bochs, run "make bochs" and then type "c" at the bochs prompt. +To run in QEMU, run "make qemu". Both log the xv6 screen output to +standard output. + +To create a typeset version of the code, run "make xv6.pdf". +This requires the "mpage" text formatting utility. +See http://www.mesa.nl/pub/mpage/. + +Have fun! |
