A Simple x86 Operating System written in C.

The Kernel is loaded by Grub2. The boot configuration is located in rootfs/boot/grub/grub.cfg.

The Kernel is loaded by Grub2 using the Multiboot 2 protocol. The Kernel is loaded at 0x100000 and is loaded in 32-bit mode.

The Kernel parses the MBR and finds its own partition. It does not support extended partitions. Then it setups the filesystem and mounts it.

The Kernel supports FAT12 and FAT16. It can read files and directories. The Kernel cannot write to FAT12/16.

The Kernel supports Ext2. It can read files and directories. The Kernel cannot write to Ext2.

The Kernel supports syscalls via the int 0x80 instruction. Currently the following syscalls are supported:

• sys_write
• sys_read
• sys_open
• sys_close
• sys_stat
• sys_getpid
• sys_fork
• sys_execve
• sys_exit

The Kernel can parse ELF files and execute them. It can also load debug symbols from itself.

Currently the Kernel is built as a single binary. In the future it will be split into modules. The Kernel will load the modules from the filesystem.

The Kernel supports the Intel 82540EM series of network cards. It can send and receive packets. The following protocols are supported:

• ARP
• IPv4
• UDP
• TCP
• DHCP
• DNS

The Kernel is built on top of a primitive libc. It is located in kernel/libc. There's also a system/libc which is used by the userspace programs and in the future will generate a shared library.
