Linux Lab released v0.3, simplified user interface and publish its first Chinese manual

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 learn efficiently processor architecture, Linux kernel, embedded Linux, C programming language, compilation of Linux, Shell programming.

Linux Lab Boot example

It has been eager? ! Take a look:

• Linux Lab v0.3 Chinese manual

• Linux Lab v0.3 English Manual

• Linux Lab: Ten Reasons irresistible

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

Linux Lab has on June 29 and October 30 released the  v0.1  and  v0.2  official version.

In the past few months, Linux Lab has released three consecutive candidate of version v0.3, this release  v0.3 official version .

The ~ have v0.3-rc3 changes between v0.3 119 pens, 366 pen change between entire v0.2 ~ v0.3, there are a number of contributors submitted Pull Request period, the project involved the testing and trial and made recommendations for improvement, thank you very much participation and contribution:

$ git log --format='%aN' v0.2..HEAD | sort -u
LastRitter
unicornx
Wu Zhangjin

$ git log --oneline v0.2..HEAD | wc -l
366

The main updates are as follows:

• Unify all components of the common user interface more convenient memory

  • Added  make cmd [kernel|uboot|root|qemu] [option=value] operation

  • For example: make defconfig kernel equivalent to make kernel-defconfig

  • More commands include download, checkout, patch, defconfig, menuconfig, build, boot, test, debug

• Further optimize the download experience of a large warehouse

  • By  git init + fetch substitution git clone

• By adding simplified command execution and automatic dependency greatly enhance the efficiency of the experiment

  • make boot build=kernel A command to complete the download, version detection, configure, compile and start the whole process

• Added this well-known Linux v2.6.10 for multiple books, v2.6.11, v2.6.12, v2.6.14, v2.6.21, v2.6.24 and other historical version of the kernel

  • Difficulties at home idle classic Linux books might turn out to accompany all join grams

• Released the first Chinese version of the User's Manual

  • Re-sort the document layout and translated into Chinese

Preparing the Environment

In the non-Ubuntu platform, pre-installed on their own good docker, refer to  Docker for Mac , Docker for Windows .

If an older version of Windows, you can use  Docker Toolbox , also you can install Ubuntu by 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 .

Speed ​​experience

The latest version relies Cloud Lab and docker image:

$ 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

Has been downloaded, please update to the latest version and restart the Linux Lab:

$ cd cloud-lab && git pull
$ tools/docker/update linux-lab
$ tools/docker/rerun linux-lab

Into the future, open the console, type the following command to start a board (automatically download pre-compiled version):

$ make boot

A key to compile (automatically download the source code, version detection, patch, configure, compile):

$ make boot build=kernel

Key Features

Linux Lab has the following characteristics:

1. Support the three major operating systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux), can easily be used in these three operating systems.

2. Support 7+ large processor architecture (X86, ARM, MIPS, PPC, CSKY, RISC-V, LOONGSON), which LOONGSON and CSKY for domestic processors.

3. Support 15+ paragraph development board (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).

4. Supports five landing approach (docker, ssh, vnc, webssh, webvnc), can be accessed locally or remotely accessible.

5. Five integrated components (Qemu, U-boot, Buildroot, Linux, Toolchain), has a pre-compiled version.

6. Built five major platforms, 32-bit and 64-bit total of 10 Hello World assembly language routines, see  examples/assembly.

7. You can learn processor instruction set, Qemu, Shell, Assembler, C, Linux kernel, embedded Linux.

8. Support Debugging and Testing.

9. host & guest bilateral free root use.
