Windows

At this moment on Windows it is possible to build Phoenix-RTOS image for all targets. Running the system is only possible on ia32-generic-qemu using WSL. Running the rest of targets will be added soon.

WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

This part is only available for users with Windows 10 (version 1709 or later) and all versions of Windows 11

WSL is based on a Linux virtualization environment within a Windows system. To properly install WSL it’s needed to enable virtualization in BIOS settings as by default it’s disabled.

WSL we can download using winget in PowerShell (Remember to run it as an administrator):

winget install wsl

If winget is not available on your system, search for the App Installer in the Microsoft Store.

After that, we’ll need to set up an environment. In our case, we’re aiming for Ubuntu-22.04. To install it, use the following command:

wsl --install -d Ubuntu-22.04

WSL will install the subsystem and all needed components. After successful installation, we can type

wsl

In PowerShell and the entire subsystem will start up (This might take some time). On the first start, you will be prompted to create an account in the subsystem (sudo credentials).

After that simply follow the instructions for Ubuntu written in the Building Phoenix-RTOS and ia32-generic-qemu quick-start.

Tip

It is not mandatory, but turning off Real-Time Protection in Windows Defender speeds up the toolchain building process
