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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
tools/
Build-time and integration-test utilities for the StarForth / LithosAnanke toolchain.
Contents
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
mkcapsule.c |
Assembles .4th capsule files into capsule_generated.c baked into the kernel image. Invoked automatically by kernel/Makefile. |
mkcapsule |
Compiled host binary (rebuilt on demand). |
ttftest.c |
Host TTF glyph-rendering test — font rasterization unit tests, no QEMU needed. |
pe_reloc_gen.py |
Generates PE32+ relocation tables for the UEFI loader. |
svg_to_png.py |
Renders every tracked .svg in the repo to a same-named .png via headless Chromium; leaves the source .svg untouched, run manually. |
hermes_smoke.sh |
Hermes v1 hosted smoke test — swaps in the Hermes init capsule and prints values for manual inspection. |
hermes_channel_smoke.sh |
Exercises the full Hermes channel-negotiation lifecycle (CH-REQUEST → CH-ACCEPT → CH-CLOSE → reap) per the protocol in .claude/HERMES.md. |
hermes_tripod_smoke.sh |
Full Tripod integration test — exercises all 6 inter-VM message paths using the DEFER VM-EXEC/IS VM-EXEC dispatcher shim from init.4th. |
kconfig/ |
Vendored Linux kernel Kconfig tooling (conf/mconf/qconf), GPL-2.0. See tools/kconfig/README.md. |
mkcapsule
# Invoked automatically by the kernel build:
make -f kernel/Makefile ARCH=amd64 clean qemu
# Manual invocation (for inspection):
./tools/mkcapsule capsules/ build/amd64/kernel/capsule_generated.c
Scans capsules/ for .4th files, computes XXHash64 per capsule, assigns
type (m) to init.4th and (p) to everything else.
