= Project goals = * To write a microkernel sort of OS. * Write the kernel in C ('cos') * Write a kernel in oberon like language and be able to compile this with the ide. * Create python scripts that form the major part of the OS. * Make IDE in python that can compile the OS. = Directory structure = 'os' contains the os written in oberon like language. 'ide' contains the python3 qt4 ide to build the os. 'cos' contains the os written in C and assembler. = Software required = * python3 * pyqt4 Optional: * bochs * nasm = How to start the IDE = $ cd ide $ python runide.py = About the C version of the OS = To build the C kernel, enter: $ cd cos $ make Running the OS with bochs: $ bochs -q Running the OS with kvm: $ kvm -fda bootdisk.img or: $ qemu-kvm -fda bootdisk.img required tools: - bochs: for simulating the OS - mtools: for copying files to the bootdisk - nasm: for assembler instructions - gcc: for compiling the C sources - make: for building the system - python 3: for building the initial ramdisk Enjoy!
