+# Sprout Development Guide
+
+This guide is a work in progress.
+
+## Development Setup
+
+You can use any Rust development environment to develop Sprout.
+
+Rustup is recommended as the Rust toolchain manager to manage Rust versions and targets.
+
+Sprout currently requires Rust nightly to support uefi_std. See [uefi_std](https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/rustc/platform-support/unknown-uefi.html) for more details.
+
+We currently only support `x86_64-unknown-uefi` and `aarch64-unknown-uefi` targets.
+
+To test your changes in QEMU, please run `./hack/dev/boot.sh`, you can specify `x86_64` or `aarch64`
+as an argument to boot.sh to boot the specified architecture.
+
+## Hack Scripts
+
+You can use the `./hack` scripts to run common development tasks:
+
+### ./hack/build.sh
+
+Builds the Sprout binary for the target that would support your current machine.
+
+### ./hack/assemble.sh
+
+Builds both x86_64 and aarch64 binaries into `target/assemble`.
+
+### ./hack/clean.sh
+
+Cleans the target directory and any docker images that were built.
+
+### ./hack/format.sh
+
+Formats the code using `rustfmt` and shell scripts with `shfmt`.
+
+### ./hack/autofix.sh
+
+Applies Clippy and `rustfmt` fixes to the code, and formats shell scripts with `shfmt`.
+
+## Dev Scripts
+
+### ./hack/dev/build.sh
+
+Build Sprout as OCI images using Docker, including a kernel, initramfs, xen, and other supporting files.
+
+### ./hack/dev/boot.sh
+
+Boot Sprout's dev environment using QEMU for testing. This will let you test your changes in a real environment booting
+Alpine Linux with an initramfs.

+# Setup Sprout on Fedora
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Modern Fedora release: tested on Fedora Workstation 42 and 43
+- EFI System Partition mounted on `/boot/efi` (the default)
+- ext4 or FAT32/exFAT formatted `/boot` partition
+
+## Step 1: Base Installation
+
+Download the latest sprout.efi release from the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/edera-dev/sprout/releases).
+For x86_64 systems, download the `sprout-x86_64.efi` file, and for ARM systems, download the `sprout-aarch64.efi` file.
+Copy the downloaded `sprout.efi` file to `/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/sprout.efi` on your EFI System Partition.
+
+Additionally, you will want to install the `edk2-ext4` package, which provides the ext4 filesystem support for Sprout.
+
+```bash
+# Install the edk2-ext4 package which provides ext4 support for Sprout.
+$ sudo dnf install edk2-ext4
+# Create a directory for sprout drivers.
+$ sudo mkdir -p /boot/efi/sprout/drivers
+# For x86_64 systems, copy the ext4x64.efi driver to the sprout drivers directory.
+$ sudo cp /usr/share/edk2/drivers/ext4x64.efi /boot/efi/sprout/drivers/ext4.efi
+# For ARM64 systems, copy the ext4aa64.efi driver to the sprout drivers directory.
+$ sudo cp /usr/share/edk2/drivers/ext4aa64.efi /boot/efi/sprout/drivers/ext4.efi
+```
+
+## Step 2: Configure Sprout
+
+Since Fedora uses the BLS specification, you can use the `bls` generator to autoconfigure Sprout for Fedora.
+
+Write the following file to `/boot/efi/sprout.toml`:
+
+```toml
+# sprout configuration: version 1
+version = 1
+
+# load an EFI driver for ext4.
+[drivers.ext4]
+path = "\\sprout\\drivers\\ext4.efi"
+
+# extract the full path of the first filesystem
+# that contains \loader\entries as a directory
+# into the value called "boot"
+[extractors.boot.filesystem-device-match]
+has-item = "\\loader\\entries"
+
+# use the sprout bls module to scan a bls
+# directory for entries and load them as boot
+# entries in sprout, using the entry template
+# as specified here. the bls action below will
+# be passed the extracted values from bls.
+[generators.boot.bls]
+path = "$boot\\loader\\entries"
+entry.title = "$title"
+entry.actions = ["bls"]
+
+# the action that is used for each bls entry above.
+[actions.bls]
+chainload.path = "$boot\\$chainload"
+chainload.options = ["$options"]
+chainload.linux-initrd = "$boot\\$initrd"
+```
+
+## Step 3, Option 1: Configure GRUB to load Sprout (recommended)
+
+You can configure GRUB to add a boot entry for Sprout, so you can continue to use GRUB without interruption.
+
+GRUB needs to be configured with the chainloader module to load Sprout.
+
+### x86_64
+
+```bash
+# Install x86_64 GRUB modules.
+$ sudo dnf install grub2-efi-x64-modules
+# Copy x86_64 GRUB modules to /boot/grub2 for use by GRUB if it isn't installed already.
+$ [ ! -d /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi ] && sudo cp -r /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi
+```
+
+### ARM64
+
+```bash
+# Install ARM64 GRUB modules.
+$ sudo dnf install grub2-efi-aa64-modules
+# Copy ARM64 GRUB modules to /boot/grub2 for use by GRUB if it isn't installed already.
+$ [ ! -d /boot/grub2/arm64-efi ] && sudo cp -r /usr/lib/grub/arm64-efi /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi
+```
+
+You will need to find the UUID of your EFI System Partition. You can do this by running the following command:
+```bash
+$ grep "/boot/efi" /etc/fstab | awk '{print $1}' | awk -F '=' '{print $2}'
+SAMPLE-VALUE
+```
+
+The GRUB configuration for Sprout is as follows, replace `SAMPLE-VALUE` with the UUID of your EFI System Partition:
+
+```grub
+menuentry 'Sprout' $menuentry_id_option 'sprout' {
+        insmod part_gpt
+        insmod fat
+        insmod chain
+        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root SAMPLE-VALUE
+        chainloader /EFI/BOOT/sprout.efi
+}
+```
+
+You can append this to `/etc/grub.d/40_custom` and run the following command to update your configuration:
+```bash
+$ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
+```
+
+To update your GRUB configuration.
+
+Make sure to update your GRUB environment to show the menu:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo grub2-editenv - set menu_auto_hide=0
+```
+
+You may now reboot your system and select Sprout from the GRUB menu.
+
+## Step 3, Option 2: Configure your EFI firmware for Sprout
+
+You can configure your EFI boot menu to show Sprout as an option.
+
+To do so, please find the partition device of your EFI System Partition and run the following:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo efibootmgr -d /dev/esp_partition_here -C -L 'Sprout' -l '\EFI\BOOT\sprout.efi'
+```
+
+This will add a new entry to your EFI boot menu called `Sprout` that will boot Sprout with your configuration.
+
+Now if you boot into your UEFI firmware, you should see Sprout as an option to boot.

+# Setup Sprout to boot Linux
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- EFI System Partition mounted on a known path
+- Linux kernel installed with an optional initramfs
+- Linux kernel must support the EFI stub (most distro kernels)
+
+## Step 1: Base Installation
+
+First, identify the path to your EFI System Partition. On most systems, this is `/boot/efi`.
+
+Download the latest sprout.efi release from the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/edera-dev/sprout/releases).
+For x86_64 systems, download the `sprout-x86_64.efi` file, and for ARM systems, download the `sprout-aarch64.efi` file.
+Copy the downloaded `sprout.efi` file to `/EFI/BOOT/sprout.efi` on your EFI System Partition.
+
+## Step 2: Copy kernel and optional initramfs
+
+Copy the Linux kernel to `/vmlinuz-sprout` on your EFI System Partition.
+If needed, copy the initramfs to `/initramfs-sprout` on your EFI System Partition.
+
+## Step 3: Configure Sprout
+
+Write the following file to `/sprout.toml` on your EFI System Partition,
+paying attention to place the correct values:
+
+```toml
+# sprout configuration: version 1
+version = 1
+
+# add a boot entry for booting linux
+# which will run the boot-linux action.
+[entries.boot-linux]
+title = "Boot Linux"
+actions = ["boot-linux"]
+
+# use the chainload action to boot linux via the efi stub.
+# the options below are passed to the efi stub as the
+# kernel command line. the initrd is loaded using the efi stub
+# initrd loader mechanism.
+[actions.boot-linux]
+chainload.path = "\\vmlinuz-sprout"
+chainload.options = ["root=/dev/sda1", "my-kernel-option"]
+chainload.linux-initrd = "\\initramfs-sprout"
+```
+
+You can specify any kernel command line options you want on the chainload options line.
+They will be concatenated by a space and passed to the kernel.
+
+## Step 4: Configure EFI firmware to boot Sprout
+
+Since Sprout is still experimental, the following commands will add a boot entry to your EFI firmware for sprout but
+intentionally do not set it as the default boot entry.
+
+To add the entry, please find the partition device of your EFI System Partition and run the following:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo efibootmgr -d /dev/esp_partition_here -C -L 'Sprout' -l '\EFI\BOOT\sprout.efi'
+```
+
+This will add a new entry to your EFI boot menu called `Sprout` that will boot Sprout with your configuration.
+Now if you boot into your UEFI firmware, you should see Sprout as an option to boot.

+# Setup Sprout to boot Windows
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Secure Boot disabled
+- UEFI Windows installation
+
+## Step 1: Base Installation
+
+First, mount the EFI System Partition on your Windows installation:
+
+In an administrator command prompt, run:
+
+```batch
+> mountvol X: /s
+```
+
+This will mount the EFI System Partition to the drive letter `X:`.
+
+Please note that Windows Explorer will not let you see the drive letter `X:` where the ESP is mounted.
+You will need to use the command prompt or PowerShell to access the ESP.
+Standard editors can, however, be used to edit files on the ESP.
+
+Download the latest sprout.efi release from the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/edera-dev/sprout/releases).
+For x86_64 systems, download the `sprout-x86_64.efi` file, and for ARM systems, download the `sprout-aarch64.efi` file.
+Copy the downloaded `sprout.efi` file to `X:\EFI\BOOT\sprout.efi` on your EFI System Partition.
+
+## Step 3: Configure Sprout
+
+Write the following file to `X:\sprout.toml`:
+
+```toml
+# sprout configuration: version 1
+version = 1
+
+# add a boot entry for booting Windows
+# which will run the boot-windows action.
+[entries.windows]
+title = "Windows"
+actions = ["boot-windows"]
+
+# use the chainload action to boot the Windows bootloader.
+[actions.boot-windows]
+chainload.path = "\\EFI\\Microsoft\\Boot\\bootmgfw.efi"
+```
+
+## Step 4: Configure EFI Firmware to boot Sprout
+
+It is not trivial to add an EFI boot entry inside Windows.
+However, most firmware lets you load arbitrary EFI files from the firmware settings.
+
+You can boot `\EFI\BOOT\sprout.efi` from firmware to boot Sprout.
