## 🚀 Quick Start Guide
### 1. Prerequisites
Install the standard build essentials and cross-compilers:
```bash
# Ubuntu / Debian
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential nasm qemu-system-x86 qemu-system-arm \
gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu \
gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf \
dialog python3
```
---
### 2. Linux-Style TUI Configuration
Launch the interactive Kconfig configurator:
```bash
make configure
```
*(Also available via `make menuconfig`)*
#### Fast Architecture Presets:
```bash
make x86_64_defconfig # Configure for x86_64 (Intel / AMD 64-Bit)
make aarch64_defconfig # Configure for 64-bit ARM (Cortex-A57)
make armv8i_defconfig # Configure for 32-bit ARM (Cortex-A15)
```
---
### 3. Compilation & Live Emulation
#### Target: `x86_64` (Default)
```bash
make x86_64_defconfig
make
make run
```
*Port forwardings automatically configured in QEMU:*
- **SSH Server**: `ssh root@localhost -p 2222` (Password: `root`)
- **HTTP REST API**: `http://localhost:8080/api/status`
#### Target: `aarch64` (ARMv8-A 64-Bit)
```bash
make aarch64_defconfig
make ARCH=aarch64
make run ARCH=aarch64
```
#### Target: `armv8i` (ARM32 / AArch32)
```bash
make armv8i_defconfig
make ARCH=armv8i
make run ARCH=armv8i
```
#### Graphical Window Emulation (Optional SDL/GTK GUI)
```bash
make run-gui
```
