For how to do this, see the instructions below. using a non-x86-based Linux machine: requires a cross-compiler, see instructions below.ĭownload and get xv6 to boot in an emulated machine.natively on OS X see instructions below.We are more limited in our ability to provide tech support for other environments, but students have also had success getting things working: Note that you will need to make sure you have a version of xv6 from after (you can git clone again or update an existing copy with git pull). (See also instructions for access NoMachine/SSH.) The default version of gcc on qemu01 is pretty old you can obtain a more recent version by running source /opt/rh/devtoolset-11/enable (you’ll need to rerun this command every time you login). Alternately, you can login to the department server qemu01 via SSH from portal.cs. or NoMachine.

We have supplied a Linux-based VM with a suitable environment or instructions for setting up a similar Linux environment. a recent copy of qemu installed (configured to support full 32-bit x86 emulation - you should have a qemu-system-i386 command, which can be installed on Ubuntu-like systems with something like sudo apt install qemu-system-x86).a working C and C++ compiler that supports 32-bit x86 and produces ELF (Linux’s object, library,.: modify note regarding qemu01 to have special instructions regarding getting a new compiler and its compatiblity.: add pointer to list of “files in xv6” to hints.: add note about make clean in OS X instructions and Linux cross-compiling instructions.: add considerably more detailed OS X instructions.: edit instructions to be more optimistic/specific about using OS X and mention WSL.
