== Your Kernel ==

You can use ELF64 or PE32+ formats for your kernel. You must link it as a [[Higher Half Kernel]], and your entry point should point to [[Long Mode]] code. No real mode nor protected mode trampoline code needed at all, which simplifies your build environment significantly. Example linker script provided for both x86_64 and AArch64. There are example kernels ~~for~~ C ~~and~~ Rust.

You can use ELF64 or PE32+ formats for your kernel. You must link it as a [[Higher Half Kernel]], and your entry point should point to [[Long Mode]] code. No real mode nor protected mode trampoline code needed at all, which simplifies your build environment significantly. Example linker script provided for both x86_64 and AArch64. There are example kernels in [[C]], [[Pascal]], [[Rust]] and [[Go]].

BOOTBOOT passes a configuration to your kernel in a newline separated, zero-terminated UTF-8 string. Each line contains a ''key=value'' pair, where only two keys, "screen" and "kernel" are reserved. You are free to use any other keys that your kernel wishes to use.
