A hobby operating system written for x86 in 32bit mode. Built completely from the ground up, with a custom bootloader and everything.

Current Developments

• Better, more reliable bootloader
• Microkernel Design
  • Startup user application loaded by bootloader that will bootstrap all the other user drivers
  • Minimal kernel
    • Schedules processes
    • Manages memory
    • Manages hardware ports and PCI bus ports
    • Delegates hardware resources to user processes
  • Secure Kernel
    • Special permissions needed to delegate hardware resources to processes
    • "Safe" kernel panic and better kernel logging
