| ## Announcements, News, and Blog Posts | ||
|
|
||
| Here we collect news, blog posts, etc. related to OS development in Rust. | ||
|
|
||
| <!-- | ||

||
| - [This Month in Redox OS - December 2024](https://www.redox-os.org/news/this-month-241231/) | ||
| - Video: [Intro to Embassy : embedded development with async Rust](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDd5mXBF4tY) | ||
| - [2025: The Year of COSMIC — Alpha 5 Released!](https://blog.system76.com/post/cosmic-alpha-5-released) | ||
| - Funding Opportunities - with [Redox OS](https://redox-os.org/) or on your own | ||
| - The NGI Zero Commons Fund and NGI Zero Fediversity Fund each have a call for proposals with a Feb. 1 deadline. | ||
| If the proposal is successful, it would be to start roughly in June or July (based on our experience) and run for up to 12 months, | ||
| with an amount up to 50,000 EUR. | ||
| There must be a "European component", so a EU-based developer would be an ideal fit, | ||
| or perhaps a project where the maintainer is EU-based. Here are the links: | ||
| - [NGI Zero Commons Fund](https://nlnet.nl/commonsfund/) | ||
| - [NGI Zero Fediversity Fund](https://nlnet.nl/fediversity/) | ||
| - Redox is looking for a part-time or short-term developer to help with implementing device drivers, ACPI support, and similar, | ||
| who would like to join our proposal. | ||
| You must be knowledgeable in Rust and drivers, and have good reputation in the open source community. | ||
| We have an existing relationship with NLnet, so we can craft the proposal, based on your skillset and our priorities. | ||
| Please join us on Matrix and let us know you are interested. | ||

| and performant abstractions for UEFI functionality. | ||
|
|
||
| We merged the following PRs this month: | ||
|

|
|
||
| The `x86_64` crate provides various abstractions for `x86_64` systems, including wrappers for CPU instructions, access to processor-specific registers, and abstraction types for architecture-specific structures such as page tables and descriptor tables. | ||
|
|
||
| We merged the following PRs this month: | ||

| ## Other Projects | ||
|
|
||
| In this section, we describe updates to Rust OS projects that are not directly related to the `rust-osdev` organization. Feel free to [create a pull request](https://github.com/rust-osdev/homepage/pulls) with the updates of your OS project for the next post. | ||

|
|
||
| `genesis` is a bare metal firmware implementation for mips. it implements everything from the bottom up, from | ||
| initializing the cpu caches, to configuring pci devices and the interrupt controller. | ||
|
|
||
| i noticed that every kernel implementation is always for x86, so i decided to implement it for something a | ||
| little more esoteric - mips. | ||
|
|
||
| the project is currently in very early stages but the basics are there. | ||
|
|
||
| it is my hobby project for me to learn about embedded programming. | ||
|
|
||
| feel free to follow along the development of it :). | ||
