rCore-Tutorial-v3 is a step-by-step tutorial project that teaches how to write a Unix-like operating system for RISC-V from scratch in Rust, targeting QEMU and Kendryte K210 boards. It includes a small (~4K+ LoC) teaching kernel with processes, threads, virtual memory, a file system, and a shell, plus detailed (Chinese-language) book documentation.

Use cases

• learn how to write an operating system from scratch
• learn OS development in Rust
• study RISC-V kernel internals
• teach an undergraduate operating systems course
• understand virtual memory and SV39 page tables
• learn how syscalls, processes, and scheduling work
• run a toy OS on QEMU or a K210 board

When to choose

• you want a hands-on, incremental OS-in-Rust tutorial for RISC-V
• you are a beginner without prior OS or assembly background
• you need a compact teaching kernel with accompanying book chapters and exercises

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade OS kernel
• you require English documentation (the book is currently Chinese-only)
• you target architectures other than RISC-V
