Linux Lab v0.1 release, the history of an official version

Linux Lab  is a real-time laboratory for learning Linux kernel, development and testing, speed can be set up and to use, powerful, it is easy to use!

You can use it to efficiently learn the Linux kernel, embedded Linux, C programming language, compilation of Linux, Shell programming.

If you want to learn Linux 0.11 kernel and Linux X86 assembly language, you can also visit another two Lab, namely Linux 0.11 Lab  and CS630 Qemu Lab .

new version update

From 2016 launch, after several years of development and iteration, [Linux Lab] (/ linux -lab) finally ushered in the first one official version: v0.1 .

After the recent months of remodeling and improvement, Linux Lab has released three consecutive RC version:

• RC1 v0.1 , released the first version of history, in the history of the function further added raspi3 and risc-v support.
• RC2 v0.1 , fixes several basic experience Bugs.
• RC3 v0.1 , demand loading prebuilt code repository and migrate into the country, significantly optimize the download experience.

Linux Lab v0.1  official version is further opened kvm acceleration, improved debug capabilities. Several rc version of iterations over its robustness and user experience greatly enhanced.

Speed ​​experience

In the non-Ubuntu platform, pre-installed on their own good docker:

$ git clone https://gitee.com/tinylab/cloud-lab.git
$ cd cloud-lab
$ tools/docker/run linux-lab

Into the future, open the console, type the following command to start a board:

$ make boot
