Build scripts and tools

KasperskyOS Community Edition includes the following build scripts and tools:

• nk-gen-c

  The NK compiler (nk-gen-c) generates transport code based on the IDL, CDL, and EDL descriptions. Transport code is needed for generating, sending, receiving, and processing IPC messages.

• nk-psl-gen-c

  The nk-psl-gen-c compiler generates the C-language source code of the Kaspersky Security Module based on the solution security policy description and the IDL, CDL, and EDL descriptions. The nk-psl-gen-c compiler also generates the C-language source code of solution security policy tests based on solution security policy tests in PAL.

• einit

  The einit tool automates the creation of code for the Einit initializing program. This program is the first to start when KasperskyOS is loaded. Then it starts all other programs and creates IPC channels between them.

• makekss

  The makekss script creates the Kaspersky Security Module.

• makeimg

  The makeimg script creates the final boot image of the KasperskyOS-based solution with all programs to be started and the Kaspersky Security Module.
