Currently the focus is Fedora CoreOS.
You can use the normal Rust tools to build and run the unit tests:
cargo build
and cargo test
For real e2e testing, use e.g.
export COSA_DIR=/path/to/fcos
cosa build-fast
kola run -E (pwd) --qemu-image fastbuild-fedora-coreos-bootupd-qemu.qcow2 --qemu-firmware uefi ext.bootupd
See also the coreos-assembler docs.
Many folks use a pet container or toolbox to do development on immutable, partially mutabable, or non-Linux OS's. For those who don't use a pet/toolbox and you'd prefer not to modify your host system for development you can use the build-in-container
make target to execute building inside a container.
$ make build-in-container
podman build -t bootupd-build -f Dockerfile.build
