rajamesandClaude Opus 5.5 e177c5c6b3 feat(build): the stick and the data stick, Artemis formatted and signed at build
The stick's increment 3, Task 1 (docs/v4.0.0/plans/2026-10-27-stick-3-images.md;
STICK.md 4). make boot_image TARGET=PC now writes the 2 GiB stick: ESP 64 MiB
(BOOTX64.EFI, startup.nsh, starforth.cfg), StarshipOS identity 500 MiB (zeros),
StarshipOS Artemis to the end. make -f kernel/Makefile ARCH=<arch> datastick
writes the 1.5 GiB data stick, identity and Artemis, fresh every time. Sizes in
kernel/Makefile; every partition on whole MiB.

tools/mkartemis formats and signs an Artemis partition at build with the
kernel's own code -- v3's block_subsystem.c (blk_subsys_confirm_format) and
artemis_sig.c (artemis_sig_genesis_stamp) -- through a blkio device over a byte
range of the image; --check reads one back the same way (read-only). disk_uuid
from getrandom(2): each image its own. mkdiskimage.sh gains --starship,
--mkartemis, --esp-mib; Milk-V and the Pi images are unchanged. The kernel is
not changed.

Red: scripts/check_images.sh FAIL (no datastick, the PC image one partition).
Green: 23/23. Mutation: --check on a range shifted by one block fails.
Accepted: suite EXIT 0; 133146, 133417, 133815, POST 538/538, dict_hash
0xfec8c47cfc6f437f; test-32, 0 failures.

boards/

One directory per physical target. make boot_image TARGET=<NAME> (repo root) maps the name to a directory here, reads its board.mk, and builds the single file that goes on that board's boot medium into build/boards/<board>/.

TARGET Directory ISA Boot path Image
PC pc/ amd64 UEFI firmware, removable-media path -- any x86-64 PC GPT + FAT32 ESP: EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
RASPI raspi/ aarch64 Pi 5 EEPROM firmware, native MBR + FAT32: config.txt, kernel_2712.img, bcm2712-rpi-5-b.dtb
MILKV milkv/ riscv64 SPI-flash U-Boot + OpenSBI, bootefi GPT + FAT32 ESP: EFI/BOOT/BOOTRISCV64.EFI
ZYNQ7020 zynq7020/ armv7 BootROM, BOOT.BIN, U-Boot not yet: needs kernel/src/arch/armv7

board.mk sets:

  • BOARD_DESC: one-line description (make boards)
  • BOARD_ARCH: kernel ISA (kernel/src/arch/<arch>)
  • BOARD_BOOT: image recipe in kernel/Makefile (uefi-esp, rpi-native, ...)
  • BOARD_IMAGE: output file name

Disk images are assembled by scripts/mkdiskimage.sh, which needs no root access and no loop devices. KERNEL_ARGS="..." is written as starforth.cfg (UEFI boards) or cmdline.txt (Pi 5, where the firmware copies it into /chosen/bootargs). BOOT_IMAGE_SIZE_MIB sets the image size; the default is 128.

Hardware status: none of these images has been booted on real silicon from this build. The PC image has been booted in QEMU (q35 + OVMF, from its own disk) through POST. (PC was named SER5 until 2026-10-14, after the first PC on the bench; the image was never specific to it.) The Pi 5 native path (raspi/README.md) and the JH7110 peripherals have still only been checked by compiling.
