Linux Lab is a set of real-time labs for Linux kernel learning, development and testing. It can be built and used extremely quickly, with powerful functions and simple usage!
You can use it to efficiently learn processor architecture, Linux kernel, embedded Linux system, C language programming, Linux assembly, Shell programming, etc.
Already eager to try? ! Come take a look:
If you want to learn Linux 0.11 kernel and Linux X86 assembly language, you can also visit two other Labs, namely Linux 0.11 Lab and CS630 Qemu Lab .
Community dynamics

Environmental preparation
On non-Ubuntu platforms, please install docker yourself in advance, please refer to Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows .
If it is an old version of Windows, you can use Docker Toolbox , or you can install Ubuntu by yourself through Virtualbox or Vmware.
Domestic students please be sure to use domestic Docker mirror service, otherwise you can not download the image properly, recommended reference Ali cloud mirroring configuration file .
The following link is the host environment where you have successfully run Linux Lab, welcome to refer to it, and welcome to register after installation.
Speed experience
This version relies on the latest Cloud Lab and docker images:
$ git clone https://gitee.com/tinylab/cloud-lab.git
$ cd cloud-lab
$ tools/docker/pull linux-lab # 确保更新 docker 镜像
$ tools/docker/run linux-lab
If you have already downloaded it, please update to the latest version and restart Linux Lab:
$ cd cloud-lab && git pull
$ pushd labs/linux-lab && git pull && popd
$ tools/docker/rerun linux-lab
After entering, open the console and type the following command to start a board (automatically download the pre-compiled version):
$ make boot
One-click compilation and startup (automatically download source code, check out version, patch, configure, compile):
$ make boot BUILD=kernel
The default is arm/vexpress-a9that if you want to use the Loongson board, you can simply switch:
$ make BOARD=mipsel/ls1b
$ make boot
Key features
Linux Lab has the following features:
-
It supports three major operating systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux), and can be easily used under these three operating systems.
-
Support 7+ large processor architecture (X86, ARM, MIPS, PPC, CSKY, RISC-V, LOONGSON), among which LOONGSON and CSKY are domestic processors.
-
Support 16+ development boards (i386/pc, x86_64/pc, arm/versatilepb, arm/vexpress-a9, ppc/g3beige, mips/malta, aarch64/virt, aarch64/raspi3, riscv32/virt, riscv64/virt, csky /virt, loongson/ls1b, loongson/ls2k, loongson/ls232, loongson/ls3a7a).
-
