| 6 = Project goals = | |
| 7 * To write a microkernel sort of OS. | |
| 8 * Write the kernel in C ('cos') | |
| 9 * Write a kernel in oberon like language and be able to compile this with the ide. | |
| 10 * Create python scripts that form the major part of the OS. | |
| 11 * Make IDE in python that can compile the OS. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 = Directory structure = | |
| 14 'os' contains the os written in oberon like language. | |
| 15 'ide' contains the python3 qt4 ide to build the os. | |
| 16 'cos' contains the os written in C and assembler. | |
| 17 | |
| 18 = Software required = | |
| 19 * python3 | |
| 20 * pyqt4 | |
| 21 Optional: | |
| 22 * bochs | |
| 23 * nasm | |
| 24 | |
| 25 = How to start the IDE = | |
| 26 | |
| 27 $ cd ide | |
| 28 $ python runide.py | |
| 29 | |
| 30 = About the C version of the OS = | |
| 31 | |
| 32 To build the C kernel, enter: | |
| 33 $ cd cos | |
| 34 $ make | |
| 35 | |
| 36 Running the OS with bochs: | |
| 37 $ bochs -q | |
| 38 | |
| 39 Running the OS with kvm: | |
| 40 $ kvm -fda bootdisk.img | |
| 41 or: | |
| 42 $ qemu-kvm -fda bootdisk.img | |
| 43 | |
| 44 required tools: | |
| 45 - bochs: for simulating the OS | |
| 46 - mtools: for copying files to the bootdisk | |
| 47 - nasm: for assembler instructions | |
| 48 - gcc: for compiling the C sources | |
| 49 - make: for building the system | |
| 50 - python 3: for building the initial ramdisk | |
| 51 | |
| 52 Enjoy! | |
