[SOLVED] CSE231 Assignment 0-Setting-up Artix OS VM and Compiling the OS kernel 

1 Setting-up Artix OS VM and Compiling the OS kernel

The first assignment (A0) requires you to setup your testbench VM. The VM should not require too much resources – approximately 4 GB RAM, with 2 virtual CPU cores and about 20 GB of hard drive space.

You need to install Artix-base on that following the instructions on the site. The installation must be done using the text mode instructions (and not by using the GUI).

To make your life easier you would need to do the following after the instal- lation:

1. Enable ArchLinux repositories.
2. Install the following packages: binutils, elfutils, gcc, gdb, make, automake, autoconf, yasm and vim.

Thereafter, you would require downloading the stock linux kernel and com- piling and installing it on your testbench. Ensure that it boots up!
