A Docker and Qemu based Linux kernel learning, development, and testing environment that provides one-command setup of virtual development boards across ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, X86, RISC-V, Loongson, and Csky architectures. It bundles prebuilt kernel images, rootfs, toolchains, and Uboot support so users can build, boot, and debug kernels in minutes.

Use cases

• set up a linux kernel development environment quickly
• learn linux kernel development with qemu
• boot and test a kernel on a virtual arm board
• cross-compile the linux kernel for risc-v
• experiment with kernel modules without real hardware
• build an embedded linux lab for teaching
• debug the linux kernel with qemu and gdb

When to choose

• you want a reproducible kernel dev environment without buying hardware
• you need to test kernels across many architectures and boards
• you are teaching or learning operating systems and kernel internals
• you want one-command build, boot, and test workflows for the kernel

When to avoid

• you need to develop application software, not the kernel itself
• you require exact emulation of proprietary hardware not among the supported boards
• you cannot run Docker or Qemu on your machine
