TerminalOS (V3 probably?)

• This is the third version of Terminal OS, original linked here
• So again, a new version of Terminal OS, hopefully the last one where i can finally make this run on hardware
• EDIT: It can successfully run on real hardware, yay!!!

Installation

Packages needed

• gcc compiler and binutils (i686-elf-gcc and i686-elf-ld)
• nasm
• qemu
• grub2
• some linux distro

Steps

• Run build-env/build.sh to setup appropriate build environment

      bash build-env/build.sh
  

• Make the following folders build, mnt and debug

      mkdir build mnt debug
  

• Run makedisk from MakeFile

      make makedisk
  

• Run make

      make run
  

Known issues:

• Build process has to be run twice for kernel changes to take effect, no idea why
• FAT Filesystem code can access only the first block of data from disk for now, fix to be issued later.

Features:

• 32 bit protected mode operation

• FAT-12 readonly filesystem

• GRUB as bootloader

• TTY Text mode based interface

• POSIX compiliance (maybe?)

• Kernel, User seperation (maybe?)

• Paging

• Higher half kernel
