rCore is a teaching operating system written in Rust, a Rust port of THU's uCore OS Plus, with a Linux-compatible syscall interface. It supports x86_64, RISC-V, AArch64, and MIPS architectures and is used in Tsinghua University OS courses.
Use cases
- learn operating system development in Rust
- run Linux userspace programs on a custom Rust kernel
- study OS course labs for x86_64 RISC-V AArch64 and MIPS
- experiment with kernel modules and async IO in a teaching kernel
- build and run an OS in QEMU for coursework
When to choose
- you want a Rust-based educational OS for a university course
- you need a Linux-compatible teaching kernel running in QEMU
- you want to study OS internals across multiple CPU architectures
When to avoid
- you need a maintained or production-ready OS kernel
- you want the latest developments - use zCore or ArceOS instead
- you need a general-purpose Linux replacement
