This project is a freestanding kernel written in Rust that boots on x86 hardware without a standard library. It serves as a low-level system implementation focusing on the creation of a bare metal operating system. The system implements a bootable disk image toolchain that transforms source code into binaries compatible with a bootloader. It features a custom memory allocator for dynamic memory management and an x86 kernel implementation that includes paging, interrupt handling, and VGA text mode. The project covers several core capability areas, including low-level memory management through
Implements core x86 system functionality including paging, interrupt handling, and VGA text mode.
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
Provides a low-level kernel implementation targeting the x86 architecture, managing paging and interrupts.
ToaruOS is an independent operating system built from the ground up without external dependencies. It features a custom x86-64 kernel that supports symmetric multiprocessing and paging, paired with a graphical windowing system and a dedicated bytecode interpreter for application logic. The system distinguishes itself by integrating an embedded Python environment for system-level development and a custom graphical interface that handles its own window composition and text rendering. It includes a compatibility layer for third-party application support and a system package manager for handling
Features a custom x86-64 kernel supporting paging and symmetric multiprocessing.
30dayMakeOS is an educational hobby operating system project designed for the x86 architecture. It implements a monolithic kernel and a custom bootloader that transitions the CPU from real mode to 32-bit protected mode to enable flat memory addressing. The project focuses on low-level system development, featuring a custom graphics driver for direct pixel-buffer rendering and window management without an existing operating system. It includes an x86 bootloader that loads the kernel from disk into memory. The system covers core kernel capabilities including round-robin task scheduling for pro
Provides a complete low-level kernel implementation specifically targeting the x86 architecture.
Acest proiect este o colecție de sisteme de operare minimale, bootloadere și drivere hardware utilizate pentru a demonstra programarea de nivel jos x86 și interfațarea hardware. Servește drept toolkit de dezvoltare a kernel-ului și laborator de programare de sistem conceput pentru testarea conceptelor de arhitectură și a comportamentului hardware într-un emulator de sistem. Repository-ul oferă implementări de referință pentru crearea de imagini de disc bootabile și încărcarea etapelor kernel-ului. Include ghiduri pentru implementarea tranzițiilor în modul protejat, paginarea memoriei, tabelele descriptorilor de întrerupere și multiprocesarea simetrică pe hardware x86. Codebase-ul acoperă o gamă largă de primitive de sistem, inclusiv maparea memoriei virtuale, gestionarea întreruperilor hardware și detectarea memoriei fizice. Conține, de asemenea, drivere bare-metal pentru difuzorul PC, tastatura PS/2, porturile seriale și bufferele de text VGA. Proiectul include un toolchain binar brut pentru a compila sursa de asamblare în imagini pentru execuție hardware directă și suportă testarea prin emulare hardware și debugging la distanță.
Provides reference implementations for x86 protected mode, paging, and symmetric multiprocessing.
This project is an educational operating system kernel designed to demonstrate the fundamental architectural principles of memory paging and process management. It is implemented as a minimal kernel that serves as a practical reference for building a functioning system from the ground up. The implementation features a preemptive multitasking kernel that switches execution contexts between threads to share a single CPU. It includes an x86 virtual memory manager that uses paging to map virtual addresses to physical memory and isolate processes. The system covers low-level hardware interfacing
