Project Initialisation

We’ll use limine bootloader and use stivale2 as our boot protocol. There are multiple boot protocols and stivale2 provides many advanced features. Limine supports stivale2 by default. It also gives us a way to instantly print anything on screen but we won’t be using that. To read more about stivale2 boot specification, read here

Create project with following directory structure

.
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── kernel
│   ├── kernel.c
│   ├── kernel.h
│   └── stivale2.h
└── limine
 ├── bochsrc
 ├── build-aux
.
.
.

19 directories, 183 files

kernel will contain our kernel code. Soon we’ll be creating many other folders. Use wget to get stivale2 header file. Initialise a git repository and add limine boot loader as a submodule.
