Firefly-Kernel

Kernel for FireflyOS which can be booted on UEFI and BIOS

A note to the reader:

Are you interested in writing a kernel but lack a "study buddy" or don't know where to get started?

This project is for you!

Our goal is to build an operating system where everyone can participate and learn; both newbies and professionals alike.

x64 demo:

Clone the repo

• git clone https://github.com/FireflyOS/Firefly-Kernel --recursive
• cd Firefly-Kernel

Ubuntu

sudo apt install meson ninja-build nasm xorriso qemu-system-x86 clang lld ovmf #For UEFI emulation only

Firefly OS uses the meson build system:

# Note: We invoke the meson build commands using regular Makefiles as a QoL improvement
make all run # Alternatively you can use 'make all uefi' for uefi emulation

# "I want to execute the build commands manually!" - Here you go:
make -C limine/
meson build --cross-file meson_config.txt # You *must* use build, other scripts depend on this directory name
cd build
meson compile && ../scripts/geniso.sh && ../scripts/qemu-bios.sh # If meson compile is not supported you can either upgrade meson or use ninja

Note: It is assumed you have meson version 0.60.1 or higher, you may or may not run into problems with older versions.
