v86 is a browser-based virtual machine and x86 hardware simulator that allows 16-bit and 32-bit operating systems to run directly within a web page. It functions as an x86 emulator for WebAssembly, simulating CPUs, memory, and storage devices to execute legacy software without original native hardware. The project utilizes a WebAssembly just-in-time compiler to translate x86 machine code into WebAssembly modules for high-performance execution in the browser. The system covers hardware emulation and lifecycle management, including the ability to boot from disk images, configure virtual hardwa

xv6 is a Unix-like educational operating system designed for teaching kernel concepts. It is implemented as an instructional kernel for x86 and RISC-V architectures, featuring a virtual memory manager and support for symmetric multiprocessing. The system is designed to demonstrate core OS principles through a simplified re-implementation of Unix Version 6. It provides a controlled environment for studying system calls, trap handling, and process lifecycles. Its capability surface covers process management, including scheduling and context switching, and memory management via page tables for

This project provides a Linux kernel development environment and a system emulation suite for building and debugging kernel modules and baremetal assembly across multiple hardware architectures. It functions as a comprehensive sandbox and framework for low-level system development, utilizing QEMU to simulate hardware environments without the need for physical devices. The environment integrates cross-compilation toolchains using Buildroot and crosstool-NG to target x86_64, ARMv7, and ARMv8 platforms from a single host. It features a specialized kernel debugging framework that leverages GDB an
