raccoonOS

a small UNIX-like operating system

---

This really isn't anything much, not much code has been written yet.

To build and run this, you will need to set up a GCC cross-compiler for Intel i386, as outlined in the OSDev wiki. The path to the compiler and binutils executable folders must be in your $PATH environment variable, if not already in a system path folder.

You will also need the QEMU emulator, for the x86_64 architecture.

To build:

make build

To run:

make clean #optional
make run

Currently implemented

• Multiboot support with GRUB
• GDT and IDT
• Printing formatted strings to VGA TTY
• Logging to a file via QEMU's COM1 port
• Tiny lib{c,k} for convenience functions

Currently this OS will be built for i386, but I plan to build for x86_64 in the future, and maybe also for RISC architectures.

Planned

• x86_64 support
• Some (or full, if possible) POSIX compliance
• A POSIX-compliant shell
• Basic networking - RTL8139 driver
• A GUI, potentially via Intel HD Graphics
• Sound support
• Symmetric multiprocessing
