A simple 64 bits Operating System for x64

Just for fun.

I use C++ and Assembly to develop the OS. I use g++ and Nasm for compiler tools

Dependencies

• Any gcc toolchain that support x64.
• make
• nasm
• grub
• xorriso - For making iso file used by grub-mkrescure.
• qemu - Using qemu-system-x86_64 for testing.

Make sure all dependencies were installed, and you good to go.

How to run:

Build the source code with make or make all or run the os on Qemu with make demo. You will see the OS screen

Timeline:

1. Enter Long mode: check CPU support, setup Memory mapping, setup GDT
2. Create interrupt handler. Using PIC. I have plan to move to APIC later.
3. Create debug functions: print, printNumber, printAddress.
4. Some simple drivers: Timer, Keyboard, Video Graphics
5. Create DynamicMemory module. Now we use operator: new, delete, new[], delete[]
6. Add datastructure: list. We need to add more data structure like: tree, hashtable...
7. Support multithreading. Schedule tasks
8. ...
