Expand description
System interface types for µKernel.
This crate defines the ABI between userspace domains and the µKernel microkernel. It contains:
KernelOp— the ~30 primitive kernel operationsSubmitEntry/CompleteEntry— submission ring entry typesSubmitRing— shared-memory ring buffer layoutSubsystemId— hashed subsystem identity for loadable domain types
§Architecture
Application (Rust std or no_std)
↓
libposix.a (queues KernelOps into ring)
↓ SYS_SUBMIT
µKernel (processes ring, capability checks)This crate defines the types at the ↓ boundary. It is no_std and
has zero dependencies.
§Usage
Most applications don’t use this crate directly — they use Rust std
(via the x86_64-americankernel-ukernel target) or libposix. This
crate is for:
- Building custom domain runtimes
- Writing kernel-level drivers or subsystems
- Understanding the µKernel syscall interface
§Links
- µKernel — product information
- Vinci Consulting — engineering services
