Temporal

A barebone operating system. It wouldn't be possible if I didn't find nanobyte!

Roadmap

• Multi-stage Boot (asm to C)
• System I/O
• System filesys
• Mem protect

NixOS Support

This operating system has been converted into a Nix flake. Note it does not support installation as a package because Temporal is not a package, obviously.

To build Temporal, simply run

nix build .

To run Temporal, run

nix develop .
make run

What I've learned

If you want to build gcc and other repos on NixOS, remember that hardening is automatically enabled. To disable it, add hardeningDisable = [ "all" ] to the flake according to this question.

Also, LD_LIBRARY_PATH needs to be configured. Luckily, a util function called pkgs.lib.makeLibraryPath helps with that!

We have to additionally refresh flake.lock sometimes to prevent strange bugs from occurring.
