monarc

Monarc Operating System KernelMonarc is an experimental and progressive operating system kernel; featuring modern architecture, clean code, and flexible structure. It is implemented in C/C++ and a small amount of assembly. The current platform is x86-32, and soon x86-64. You can see a screenshot of the early GUI here.

An Operating System

cakeos

Cake is a 32 bit (with future plans for 64 bit expansion) hobby operating system started by me lukem95. It is written in C, ASM and C++. CakeOSAboutWelcome to the CakeOS google code page. Cake is still in its Alpha stage, with development being fairly slow, as other hobbys/work/school are taking ... [More] their toll on my free time. Expect updates to be posted here :) Please see the Wiki for specification and other information on the project. Latest VersionPre-release 0.07 alpha 2 (featured) [Less]

managarm

Managarm is a modern operating system that is based on a virtual machine. Its objective is to provide a fast and stable operating system for daily use. Managarms device drivers are written in a managed programming language and are verified before executed. Modern virtual machine and just-in-time ... [More] compilation techniques are used to achieve high performance without risking a loss of stability and security. At the moment Managarm is in the very early stages of development and only few programs are supported. It is available for the Intel x86 (Pentium or better) architecture, however, it could be easily ported to other platforms. Managarm is primarily written in the Korona programming language that was specifically designed for managed operating system and driver code. Some parts of the runtime library are written in assembly language; some utilities and applications are written in Java. Currently Managarm's virtual machine only runs its own bytecode format, later also Java bytecode will be supported. It would be possible to implement a frontend for .NET but that is not planned to be realized in the near future. [Less]

osvos

This project will attempt to establish a standard platform for hardware and software in constructing an OSVOS Open Source Vehicle Operating System that will be used to free users from constraints of closed, expensive, and proprietary systems used by most vehicle OEMs. This would effectively put and ... [More] end to the need for hardware hacking in order to accomplish specific goals with vehicles of all kinds and it could be used as a platform for specialized vehicles for space missions, vehicles that were automated, or standard passenger vehicles.

starflub

Welcome!Starflub is an attempt by two high school students to write an operating system. Our goal is to have a full fledged operating system with a usable GUI and support for 3rd party applications. Note: It's now two years later and this project has kind of died due to other things. It was a ... [More] great learning experience, and the code is still up for anyone who would like to look at it. Also, forgive me for all the subversion horribleness. I was new to it back then and I'm a lot better at it now. What we've done so farStarflub is currently a (mostly) textual kernel with some experimental GUI components. We're trying to make it as modular and independent of Linux/UNIX code or code from other kernels. Using some tutorials from osdever.net and other sites, as well as using some open-source projects for help, we've hacked together a kernel with some features We've got: Keyboard support (Experimental) mouse support (Experimental) VGA drivers Paging (but it hardly works) Multitasking (it works in theory) Virtual File system Error handling Other things (that hardly work) We're working on: GUI Support for executables Hard disk support Bitmaps Good mouse Screenshot(soon) [Less]

handwriting-operating-system

In this project, a bootable operating system will be created for the use of creating, storing, and transfering handwriting from user input via a touch screen. The operating system should be able to create a certain file that stores the handwriting and then interpret it into text (if the user chooses ... [More] to). In addition, the operating system should allow the user to organize the handwriting into section, notebooks, etc. Finally, the operating system should support non-windowed multi-tasking capabilities, meaning the system does not have windows but it can remember open tasks and allow the user to switch between them easily.

os-simulator

This is the project page for an extensible operating system simulator under development by a few grad students as their class project for RPI Course CISH-4210, Fall 2008.

entrelacs

The "Entrelacs project" aims to develop a revolutionary computing environment, the Entrelacs System, where the "arrow" supersedes the "bit" as the fundamentally smallest piece of information. By "arrow", one means an immutable and uniquely defined oriented ... [More] link between two said "arrows". Entrelacs proposes to represent Knowledge with redundancy-free structures uniquely built from arrows. This new paradigm might be summed up by the credo: everything is arrow. Please also consider reading this Introduction to better understand the thought process behind Entrelacs. Some arrows structure This manner of storing information within a computing system brings to Entrelacs many new properties which distinguish it from more classical systems. In the near future, the EntrelacsSystem could happily stands for a single replacement to most middlewares within a single computer: interpreters, data base managers, file systems, applicative frameworks, and such. It may even evolve as an autonomous operating system on top of dedicated hardware. For the moment, the current prototype is more simply designed as a network (HTTP based) software server on top of a GNU/Linux OS.

chamos

chamOS ProjectProject Status: CLOSED chamOS: charming absolutly minimalistic operating system. Monolithic kernel. Made for educational purposes... NEW VERSION!!! CHECK IT OUT.What exactly will chamOS be? chamOS aims to be a simple operating system for 32-bit x86 PCs, with a monolithic kernel ... [More] design. I develop it only for educational purposes. Don't expect chamos to substitute FreeBSD for example :P It's still in the early stages of development, so it can't offer much yet. Project Plan Here's the project plan: Reading the Intel Processor's Manual Design Diagrams When finished multitasking, design the interface Make important pseudocode Translate diagrams and pseudocode to C and Assembly code Code makefiles, important scripts and the linker file.
