My little microkernel operating system. At the moment under heavy development

DeLiRiuM is a 32-bit nano-kernel hybrid operating system One of it's aims is developing and testing unconventional interfaces between OS and userspace rather than providing yet another ubiquitous ... [More] POSIX.1-like API. The goal is to do this in a not only in a programmer friendly way, but also without sacrificing modern OS features or performance. Development currently targets IA-32 (x86), the Xen hypervisor and UNIX userspace. The DeLiRiuM kernel is primarily written in ANSI C and x86 assembler (gas). [Less]

The goal is to have a minimal OS to experiment with. For more information please refer to the development Roadmap. Technical Specifications: Languages: Assembly, C++ Target Architecture: x86 ... [More] (initialy) Questions & Answers Why another operating system ? I am aware that a lot of operating systems are already being developped. For me the process of writting it from the scratch is part of the educational process. I do not intend to replace any existing OS. What is the targeted audience ? First I do it for myself. I decided to share this code to help other people that are interested in OS development, and to be able to get help/suggestions from other people. Why a microkernel ? Because I like modularity, and I want to separate OS functions as much as possible to have a cleaner code, easier to manage, easier to understand and therefore easier to debug. Even if this flexibility has a cost. Why using C++ ? I do not plan to use the full C++ language, only a subset of it to make the code more readable, and to ease code management (namespaces, operators, advanced memory management). I am lost Well, you might start here. [Less]

FreeNOS is an experimental operating system written for one purpose: learning and exploring computer systems. For this reason, the FreeNOS project emphasizes: Readable Code: The number one rule. ... [More] It's impossible to learn from a system with unreadable code. Additionally, the purpose of high level programming languages is to make it easier for humans to control computers, which implies readable code. Documentation: All source code should be documented. Period. Documentation is vital to help understanding the workings of a system. In FreeNOS, we use Doxygen. Accessibility: It should be an easy task to “try out” FreeNOS with various compilers on different host operating systems. If you find one of the above rules violated in the FreeNOS source code, please feel free to report a bug. [Less]

A simple operating system kernel with microkernel fashion, many of the code is ported form the JOS Lab of the operating system course in THU, MIT, UCLA, etc.

Aphrodite is an Operating System that currently only supports the IA-32 architecture. The microkernel, Ariel, which Aphrodite will use is in development. Ariel currently has support for: a VGA ... [More] console framebuffer driver an easy interface for setting and handling the GDT/IDT/IRQs concise header files to explain everything that's going on [Less]
