Melpomene

Melpomene is a desktop simulator for the MnemOS kernel.

Rather than emulating any specific hardware, it runs the kernel in one thread, and userspace in a second thread.

Drivers to implement platform-specific behavior, such as serial ports, are provided.

Running the simulator

Using an alias

You can run the simulator from anywhere in the project using the cargo melpo alias. Use cargo melpo --help to see all available options:

$ cargo melpo --help
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.08s
     Running `target/debug/melpomene --help`
melpomene 0.1.0

USAGE:
    melpomene [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help
            Print help information

        --serial-addr <SERIAL_ADDR>
            Address to bind the TCP listener for the simulated serial port

            [default: 127.0.0.1:9999]

    -V, --version
            Print version information

TRACING OPTIONS:
        --trace <ENV_FILTER>
            Trace filter for `tracing-subscriber::fmt`.

            This requires that Melpomene be built with the "trace-fmt" feature flag enabled.

            [env: MELPOMENE_TRACE=]
            [default: info]

TRACING OPTIONS (TOKIO-CONSOLE):
        --console-addr <ADDR>
            Address to bind the `tokio-console` listener on.

            This requires that Melpomene be built with the "trace-console" feature flag enabled.

            [env: TOKIO_CONSOLE_BIND=]
            [default: 127.0.0.1:6669]

        --console-publish-interval <PUBLISH_INTERVAL>
            The interval between publishing updates to connected `tokio-console` clients.

            This requires that Melpomene be built with the "trace-console" feature flag enabled.

            [env: TOKIO_CONSOLE_PUBLISH_INTERVAL=]
            [default: 1s]

        --console-record-path <RECORD_PATH>
            A file path to save a `tokio-console` recording to.

            If a value is present, a recording will be output to that file. Otherwise, no recording
            will be saved.

            This requires that Melpomene be built with the "trace-console" feature flag enabled.

            [env: TOKIO_CONSOLE_RECORD_PATH=]

        --console-retention <RETENTION>
            How long to retain `tokio-console` data for completed tasks.

            This requires that Melpomene be built with the "trace-console" feature flag enabled.

            [env: TOKIO_CONSOLE_RETENTION=]
            [default: 1h]

From this folder

The simulator can also be run using cargo run from this folder. All of the same options are available as above.

The level of tracing can be configured with MELPOMENE_TRACE, e.g.

# trace level logging
MELPOMENE_TRACE=trace cargo run

# warn level logging
MELPOMENE_TRACE=warn cargo run
