kspice

An opinionated system

This project started because I dislike GNU enough to do something about it. All of the userland tools provided can be run on any system that rust compiles to. An expanded scope showed me that I wanted very much to build lean system software to run on singleboard computers and microcontrollers, too.

Goals

The first and primary goal is to build a statically-linkable, fully portable binary userland distribution not dissimilar to busybox.

The secondary goal is to build lean mean system software to drop on microcontrollers, specifically, the Raspberry Pi Pico.

Project Layout

All source is stored in usr/src/. This is to comply with the CDDL license. Inside of usr/src/ are the files:

• Cargo.toml
• OPENSOLARIS.LICENSE

Cargo.toml is the cargo file in which workspaces are defined. OPENSOLARIS.LICENSE is the required CDDL license file.

Additionally, there are some directories:

• mei
• kei

The mei directory contains the source code for all userspace commands. The kei directory contains the kernel source code.

Additional Notes

Despite the Raspberry Pi foundation being on the no-no list, I have two Pico leftover from a project before the foundation went to shit. This is a small time project for my own enjoyment. If you don't wanna run it on a Pico, port it to a different platform!
