StartOS Backend
- Requirements:
- Install Rust
- Recommended: rust-analyzer
- Docker
- Rust ARM64 Build Container
- Scripts (run within the
./backenddirectory)build-prod.sh- compiles a release build of the artifacts for running on ARM64
- A Linux computer or VM
Structure
The StartOS backend is broken up into 4 different binaries:
- embassyd: This is the main workhorse of StartOS - any new functionality you want will likely go here
- embassy-init: This is the component responsible for allowing you to set up your device, and handles system initialization on startup
- embassy-cli: This is a CLI tool that will allow you to issue commands to embassyd and control it similarly to the UI
- embassy-sdk: This is a CLI tool that aids in building and packaging services you wish to deploy to StartOS
Finally there is a library embassy that supports all four of these tools.
See here for details.
Building
You can build the entire operating system image using make from the root of
the StartOS project. This will subsequently invoke the build scripts above to
actually create the requisite binaries and put them onto the final operating
system image.
